JT being the charge nurse for today is providing orientation to Nurse Brad, a newly hired employee. Which of the following action by Nurse Brad requires the most immediate action?
A. Educating a newly admitted burn client regarding the use of pressure garments.
B. Obtaining an anaerobic culture specimen from a superficial burn wound.
C. Administering tetracycline with a glass of milk to a client with cellulitis.
D. Discussing the use of herpes zoster vaccine with a 20-year-old client.
Correct Answer: C. Administering tetracycline with a glass of milk to a client with cellulitis.
Tetracyclines should never be taken with milk or milk products since dairy products prevent the absorption of tetracycline.
Option A: Pressure garments may be used after graft wounds heal and during the rehabilitation period after a burn injury, but this should be discussed when the client is ready for rehabilitation, now when the client is admitted.
Option B: Anaerobic bacteria would not be likely to grow in a superficial wound.
Option D: The herpes zoster vaccine is recommended for clients who are 60 years or older.
