The client receives oral nystatin (Mycostatin) suspension for an oral candidiasis infection. She tells the nurse she cannot continue to "swish and swallow" because her nausea is too great. What is the best response by the nurse?
1. "I will ask your doctor if a pill form can be substituted."
2. "Try drinking a 7-Up after you swallow the medication."
3. "It is all right to swish the medication and then spit it out."
4. "You can take a phenergan suppository before the nystatin (Mycostatin)."
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: If GI side effects are disturbing, the client may swish the medication and then spit it out. A phenergan suppository is not necessary. Drinking a 7-Up is not necessary. Substituting a tablet form is not necessary.
