The mother of a 6-month-old infant comes to the clinic. The mother is diagnosed with a protozoal infection. What would be a priority for the nurse to assess for?
A) Whether she is breast-feeding
B) Whether she has a support network
C) Whether she has money to pay for the medication
D) Whether she eats a protein-rich diet
A
Feedback:
Assess for lactation because antiprotozoal drugs could enter the breast milk and be toxic to the infant. The other options are part of a complete nursing history but do not specifically relate to treatment for a protozoal infection.
