Suggested Answer

A common justification for stopping niacin is flushing of the face and neck, which can last up to an hour. This result will be incorporated into client instruction a flush's anticipated duration could encourage patients to take their medicine as prescribed.Too many lipids (or fats), such as cholesterol and triglycerides, are said to be hyperlipidemia.Niacin is used in conjunction with dietary adjustments (restricting cholesterol and fat intake) to lower blood levels of cholesterol and other fatty compounds and increase levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL; the "good cholesterol"). Patients with high cholesterol who have already experienced a heart attack can use niacin to reduce their risk of experiencing another attack.Thus, we can conclude that Niacin is frequently stopped because of hour-long flushing of the face and neck. Including this result in client instruction, the anticipated length of the flushing may encourage medication adherence.LEARN MORE ABOUT HYPERLIPIDEMIA HERE: https://brainly.com/question/28474961#SPJ9
