A patient is diagnosed with an oral fungal infection. What should the nurse anticipate being prescribed to manage this condition initially?
1. nystatin
2. fluconazole
3. ampicillin
4. Anbesol
Correct Answer: 1
Initial management of an oral fungal infection typically includes nystatin. The medication is administered as a "swish and swallow." If this initial medication does not resolve the infection, an oral medication such as fluconazole may be prescribed. Ampicillin is an antibiotic used to manage bacterial infections. Anbesol is used to manage oral discomfort, which can accompany a mouth infection.
