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: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Prepare to administer antibiotics to the client. Cutaneous anthrax is caused by Bacillus anthracis bacteria, which can be effectively treated with antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin or doxycycline. Administering antibiotics promptly can prevent the progression of the infection.
A: Antiviral medications are used to treat viral infections, not bacterial infections like anthrax.
B: Placing a surgical mask on the client is not necessary for cutaneous anthrax, as it is not transmitted through respiratory droplets.
D: While wearing an N95 respirator mask is important for respiratory precautions in certain infectious diseases, it is not specifically required for cutaneous anthrax transmission.
In summary, administering antibiotics is the most appropriate action to treat cutaneous anthrax, while the other options are not relevant for this specific situation.
