Question 1 of 5
A client diagnosed with trichomoniasis is prescribed metronidazole. The nurse should instruct the client to avoid which contraindication associated with this medication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Alcohol consumption. Metronidazole interacts with alcohol, causing a disulfiram-like reaction characterized by nausea, vomiting, flushing, and headache. This is due to the inhibition of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, leading to accumulation of acetaldehyde. Tyramine-based foods, apple juice, and soybeans do not have significant interactions with metronidazole. It is important to avoid alcohol consumption to prevent adverse reactions.
