b. "I will not need to worry about hypoglycemia with the Byetta."
c. "I should take my daily aspirin at least an hour before the Byetta."
d. "I will take the pill at the same time I eat breakfast in the morning."

Answer 1

The patient statement that indicates effective teaching is option d: "I will take the pill at the same time I eat breakfast in the morning."

Step-by-step explanation:

The patient statement that indicates effective teaching is option d: "I will take the pill at the same time I eat breakfast in the morning." This statement shows that the patient understands the correct timing for taking the medication, as exenatide (Byetta) is usually taken with the first meal of the day. By taking the pill at the same time they eat breakfast, the patient ensures that the medication is consistently taken at the recommended time.
