Question 1 of 5
The nurse is admitting a client to the acute care floor with methicillin-resistant S. aureus. The nurse would expect the physician to order which of the following medications for the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Vancomycin. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRS
A) is resistant to penicillin, so option A is incorrect. Vancomycin is the drug of choice for treating MRSA infections due to its effectiveness against resistant strains, making it the appropriate choice in this scenario. Streptomycin (
C) and Kanamycin (
D) are aminoglycosides primarily used for different types of infections and are not indicated for MRSA. In summary, Vancomycin is the most appropriate choice for treating MRSA infections due to its efficacy against resistant strains compared to other antibiotics.
