Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to insert a miconazole vaginal suppository for a client who has vulvovaginal candidiasis. Which of the following actions is appropriate for inserting this medication?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Insert the suppository along the posterior wall of the vaginal canal. This is because the posterior wall of the vaginal canal allows for the suppository to be placed in the most effective location for absorption and treatment of the infection. Placing it along this wall ensures proper placement and maximum efficacy of the medication.
Choice A: Assisting the client to a left lateral position is not directly related to the correct technique for inserting the suppository.
Choice C: Applying petroleum jelly to the suppository is not necessary and may interfere with the medication's absorption.
Choice D: Putting on sterile gloves before handling the suppository is not required for this procedure as the suppository is meant to be inserted directly into the vaginal canal.
