Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Clients on bisphosphonates must be able to sit upright for 30 to 60 minutes after taking them.The client who cannot tolerate sitting up is not a good candidate for this class of drug.Poor renal function also makes clients bad candidates for this drug,but the client with a creatinine of 0.8 mg/dL is within normal range.Diabetes and hypertension are not related unless the client also has renal disease.The client who recently fell and sustained fractures is a good candidate for this drug if the fractures are related to osteoporosis.
