Report muscle weakness to the physician. -the client taking antilipidemics should be encouraged to report muscle weakness because this is a sign of rhabdomyositis. the medication takes effect within 1 month of beginning therapy, so allowing six months for the drug to take effect is incorrect. the medication should be taken with water because fruit juice, particularly grapefruit, can decrease the effectiveness, making take the medication with fruit juice. incorrect. liver function studies should be checked before beginning the medication, not after the fact, making ask the doctor to perform a complete blood count before starting the medication incorrect.
