Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for an immunosuppressed pediatric client who reports soreness in his mouth and refuses to eat. Inspection of his mouth reveals a white, milky plaque that do not come off with rubbing. The nurse should anticipate which drug to be administered to this client?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: nystatin (Mycostatin). The pediatric client's symptoms of soreness in the mouth and the presence of a white, milky plaque that does not come off with rubbing are indicative of oral thrush, a fungal infection caused by Candida. Nystatin is an antifungal medication commonly used to treat oral thrush by targeting the Candida fungus. It is administered topically in the mouth to effectively treat the infection.

Choice A, amoxicillin, is an antibiotic and would not be effective against a fungal infection like oral thrush.
Choice B, acyclovir, is an antiviral medication used to treat viral infections, not fungal infections.
Choice C, metronidazole, is an antibiotic effective against certain bacteria and parasites, but not Candida fungus.
Therefore, the correct choice for this pediatric client with oral thrush is nystatin.
