A nurse educator is working with a patient of a bariatric clinic who has just begun taking orlistat. The nurse should encourage the patient to supplement her diet with which of the following?
A) An iron supplement
B) A multivitamin
C) An omega-3 fatty acid supplement
D) A potassium supplement
B
Feedback:
Because orlistat prevents absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, people who take it should also take a multivitamin daily 2 hours before or after orlistat. Iron supplements, potassium supplements, and omega-3 fatty acid supplements are not necessarily required.
