The nurse is preparing a client for discharge who will receive a prescription for a hydroxymethylglutaryl-coenzyme (HMG-CoA) inhibitor. What statement by the client demonstrates a clear understanding of the teaching provided by the nurse?

A. "I will not need to follow a low-fat diet anymore because this drug will take care of my lipids." Even though HMG-CoA inhibitors (statins) help lower cholesterol, a healthy, low-fat diet is still important for overall cardiovascular health. B. "I should plan to take this drug before bedtime, because my body makes lipids mostly at night." The liver produces most of its cholesterol at night, so taking statins before bedtime is most effective for inhibiting cholesterol production. C. "After I start taking this drug, I can scale back the exercise routine the primary health care provider prescribed." Exercise remains an important part of managing cholesterol and overall cardiovascular health, even when taking statins. D. "I should take this drug first thing in the morning and make sure I drink a full glass of water with it." Statins are typically most effective when taken at night, not in the morning. Taking them with water is fine, but the timing is crucial for optimal drug action.
