A nurse is caring for a child who has impetigo contagiosa that developed in the hospital. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Amphotericin B is an antifungal medication used to treat serious fungal infections. Impetigo is a bacterial infection and would not be treated with this medication. B. Impetigo is highly contagious and spread through direct contact. Contact isolation precautions are essential to prevent the spread of the infection to other patients. C. Healthcare facilities may have internal protocols for reporting certain infections but impetigo is not typically a reportable disease to state health departments. D. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic and is not indicated for the treatment of impetigo. Antibiotics are the appropriate treatment.
