Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who receives lamotrigine daily for bipolar disorder and reports a rash on his arm. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Withhold the next dose of the medication. This is the correct action because lamotrigine is known to cause a serious rash called Stevens-Johnson Syndrome. By withholding the next dose, the nurse can prevent further exacerbation of the rash and protect the client from potential harm. Asking about laundry detergent (
B) is irrelevant as the rash is likely medication-related. Applying hydrocortisone cream (
C) may not address the underlying cause and could worsen the rash. Explaining the rash as temporary (
