The given question is incomplete, the complete question is:

The primary health care provider has prescribed scopolamine (Transderm-Scōp) as prophylactic treatment for a patient with motion sickness. The nurse teaches the medication administration technique to the patient. Which statement of the patient indicates effective learning?

A. "I should change the medication patch every week."

B. "I should apply one patch of medication on the hairless area behind the ear."

C. "I should apply moisturizer to the skin before placing the medication patch."

D. "I should place the medication patch on my skin at least 4 days before travel."

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

Transderm-Scop or Scopolamine is an antiemetic medicine, which one can obtain in the form of the transdermal formulation. If one desires to enhance the rate of absorption of the medicine, then it is recommended that the patient should use the medication patch on the region behind the ear, which is hairless.  

There is a need to change the patch every three days in order to provide efficient treatment. If one uses moisturizer, it may elevate the threat of an allergy because of its association with the drug. It is required to use the patch prior to four hours before traveling, not four days.
