A home health nurse is caring for a child who has Lyme disease. Which of the following is an appropriate action for the nurse to take

Correct Answer: A

Rationale:
Correct
Answer: A: Ensure the state health department has been notified.


Rationale:
1. Lyme disease is a reportable infectious disease, so notifying the state health department is crucial for tracking and controlling its spread.
2. Reporting to the health department allows for proper surveillance and monitoring of the disease in the community.
3. By notifying the health department, appropriate public health interventions can be implemented to prevent further cases.

Summary of Incorrect

Choices:
B: Administer antitoxin - Lyme disease is caused by a bacterium, not a toxin, so antitoxin administration is not appropriate.
C: Educate the family to avoid sharing personal belongings - While important for hygiene, it does not directly address the management of Lyme disease.
D: Assess for skin necrosis - Skin necrosis is not a common manifestation of Lyme disease, so this action is not a priority in caring for a child with Lyme disease.
