This is very good advice!!!!

I always get nervous & question using a source when I find something like this that just doesn't make sense but I need to just agree to disagree and remember it is just 1 question out of thousands.

I would be 100% ok with the question if it said in the rationale that while sun sensitivity is an issue it is most important for the RN to teach about drinking fluids because the side effect is more serious or whatever. OH well, moving on...slowly...need coffee...

When the drug guide contradicts the rationale presented as the right answer, that tells you not to get wrapped around the axle about this. Answer a question as best you can and move on.
