A client receives a new prescription for levothyroxine. Which statement made by the client indicates to the nurse that education was effective?

A. Administer levothyroxine at bed time: Levothyroxine is best taken in the morning to mimic the body’s natural hormone rhythm and to avoid interference from food, so taking it at bedtime is not standard unless specifically directed by the provider. B. Take medication on an empty stomach: Levothyroxine absorption is optimal when taken on an empty stomach, ideally 30–60 minutes before breakfast, to avoid binding with food or other medications. C. Avoid the use of iron supplements: Iron can interfere with levothyroxine absorption, but it can be taken if spaced at least 4 hours apart. Avoidance is not required, only timing adjustments. D. Consume foods that are high in iodine: Excess iodine can actually disrupt thyroid function and is not recommended unless prescribed for a specific deficiency.
