Question 1 of 5
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: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Administer antitoxin. Lyme disease is caused by a bacterium, not a toxin, so administering antitoxin is not appropriate. Option A is incorrect because notifying the state health department is not a direct action for the nurse to take in caring for the child. Option C is incorrect as educating the family to avoid sharing personal belongings is a preventive measure but not a direct action for the child's care. Option D is incorrect as skin necrosis is not a typical manifestation of Lyme disease. Administering appropriate antibiotics to treat the bacterial infection is the most appropriate action for the nurse to take in caring for the child with Lyme disease.
