The nurse is assessing a client with rheumatoid arthritis who is being considered for adalimumab therapy. which statement made by the client needs further investigation?
1. "i am taking an antibiotic for a urinary tract infection."
2. "i had a negative tuberculosis skin test 2 weeks ago."
3. "i just received my yearly flu shot a week ago."
4. "i will continue taking naproxen at night to with pain."

1. "I am taking an antibiotic for a urinary tract infection."  

Explanation:

Antibiotics are medications used specifically for the elimination of bacteria without damaging our body cells. Adibulimumab is also a drug that is indicated for patients who need to inhibit the growth of tumor necrosis.

Taking two medications at the same time, in addition to causing some danger to the patient's health, may inhibit the action of one of the two medications. Therefore, among the options given in the question, the one that needs further investigation is number 1.

This is because it will be necessary to investigate whether the patient still needs to take the antibiotic and what risks this antibiotic combined with adalimumab may have on the patient's body. In addition, it is necessary to investigate whether the two medicines can be taken simultaneously.
