A female client with osteoporosis has been taking a weekly dose of oral risedronate for several weeks. The client calls the clinic nurse to report increasing "heartburn." How should the nurse respond?

A. Risedronate can cause esophageal irritation and heartburn if not taken properly. It is crucial to assess the client’s method of taking the medication to identify potential issues such as not taking it with enough water or not remaining upright after taking it. B. While taking the medication with plenty of water is important, understanding the client's current practices helps to identify specific issues. C. Advising an emergency department visit is not appropriate unless there are severe symptoms indicating an emergency. D. Antacids should generally be avoided as they can interfere with the absorption of risedronate.
