The nurse is reviewing the client’s use of over-the-counter medications prior to scheduling an elective surgical procedure. The client states, “I take garlic softgel capsules twice a day to keep my triglycerides low.” After documenting this assessment information, what client education will the nurse address with the client? Select all that apply. “Let’s talk to your family doctor about the use of garlic and if you should take it.” “If you cook with garlic, there is no reason to take it as a supplement.” “The use of any herbal supplements is not really necessary, if you eat well.” “It is important that you stop taking the garlic 7 to 14 days before surgery.” “It is essential to review your prescription drugs to see if garlic affects them.”
