The nurse is caring for a client who takes methotrexate for rheumatoid arthritis and receives a prescription for adalimumab. Which instructions should the nurse provide the client?

A. Undergo annual eye examinations: While eye examinations are important for monitoring certain conditions, they are not specifically required for clients taking methotrexate or adalimumab. B. Avoid crowds and people who are sick: Both methotrexate and adalimumab can suppress the immune system, increasing the risk of infections. Therefore, avoiding crowds and people who are sick is a crucial precaution to reduce the risk of infection. C. Have a chest x-ray prior to your first dose: A chest x-ray is not typically required for the initiation of adalimumab. However, screening for tuberculosis with a tuberculin skin test or other methods might be necessary due to the risk of reactivation. D. Obtain routine vaccinations as scheduled: Clients on methotrexate or adalimumab should consult their healthcare provider before receiving any vaccinations, as live vaccines are usually contraindicated in immunosuppressed individuals. Routine vaccinations may need to be reviewed and adjusted accordingly.
