Question 1 of 5
A client with a fungal infection of the toenail reports to the nurse that the client has been applying an over-the-counter (OTC) triple antibiotic ointment to the infection daily for two weeks without any improvement. Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: OTC triple antibiotic ointment is ineffective for fungal infections. Oral terbinafine, a prescription antifungal, effectively treats toenail fungus by penetrating the nail. Increasing ointment frequency or reassuring about duration without changing treatment is inappropriate.
