    A nurse is reinforcing teaching about cyclosporine with a client who is postoperative following a kidney transplant. Which of the following statements indicates an understanding of the information?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. "I can take ibuprofen to treat headaches.": Ibuprofen can increase the risk of kidney damage and should be avoided in transplant clients. B. "I will get out of bed slowly in the morning.": While this is good general advice, it is not specific to cyclosporine therapy. C. "I can expect hair loss when taking this medication.": Hair loss is not a common side effect of cyclosporine. D. "I will call my doctor if I have a sore throat.": Cyclosporine suppresses the immune system, making the client more susceptible to infections, such as sore throat.
