单选题 The nurse is teaching a client about using vaginal medications. The nurse should instruct the client （）

A、 use a tampon after insertion to increase medication absorption.
B、 release and pull up on the applicator before removal.
C、 never refrigerate suppositories.
D、 use only a water-soluble lubricant when inserting a suppository.

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】The nurse should instruct the client to use only a water-soluble lubricant when inserting a suppository. Tampons shouldn’t be used because the tampon will absorb some medication, making the medication less effective. When removing the applicator, the client should keep the plunger depressed. Suppositories may be refrigerated to keep their form.
