212) ANSWER
A) The signs and symptoms of pulmonary edema
RATIONALE
Medications used to treat symptoms of multiple sclerosis have been noted to increase pulmonary edema, leading to chest pain and shortness of breath. Option 2 could increase risk of urinary tract infection. Option 3 is useful to avoid infection, but does not specifically relate to medication teaching. Option 4 could increase fatigue, if done to excess, and lead to exacerbation of symptoms. The core issue of the question is knowledge of essential teaching points for a client being treated with drug therapy for multiple sclerosis. Use specific nursing knowledge and the process of elimination to make a selection.
