Question 1 of 5
A client diagnosed with trichomoniasis is prescribed metronidazole (Flagyl). The nurse should instruct the client to avoid which contraindication associated with this medication?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Alcohol. Metronidazole interacts with alcohol to cause a disulfiram-like reaction, leading to symptoms like nausea, vomiting, headache, and flushing. This is due to the inhibition of aldehyde dehydrogenase, leading to accumulation of acetaldehyde. Avoiding alcohol while taking metronidazole is crucial to prevent these adverse effects.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because there are no specific contraindications between metronidazole and tyramine-based foods, dairy, or milkshakes.
