A client who has been exposed to cutaneous anthrax
Question 1 of 5
A nurse in the emergency department admits a client who has been exposed to cutaneous anthrax. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Prepare to administer antibiotics to the client. Cutaneous anthrax is typically treated with antibiotics like ciprofloxacin or doxycycline. Administering antibiotics promptly is crucial in preventing the progression of the disease.
Choice A is incorrect because a surgical mask is not necessary for cutaneous anthrax exposure, as it is not transmitted through the air.
Choice C is incorrect because anthrax is a bacterial infection, not a viral infection, so antiviral medication would not be effective.
Choice D is incorrect because an N95 respirator mask is not necessary for cutaneous anthrax, as it is not spread through respiratory droplets.
