Question 1 of 5
A client arrives at the health care clinic and tells the nurse that she was just bitten by a tick and would like to be tested for Lyme disease. Which nursing action is appropriate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Refer the client for a blood test immediately. This is appropriate because Lyme disease is diagnosed through blood tests, specifically the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELIS
A) and Western blot tests. By referring the client for a blood test immediately, the nurse can accurately assess for the presence of Lyme disease. Options A and B are incorrect as testing the tick itself is not necessary for diagnosing Lyme disease. Option D is unnecessary as the size and color of the tick do not impact the diagnosis or treatment of Lyme disease.
