A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client that has osteomyelitis of an open wound on his heel. Which of the following information should the nurse include?

A. "Your provider may prescribe a central catheter line for long term antibiotics.” Rationale: Osteomyelitis requires long-term IV antibiotic therapy, often administered via a central venous catheter (PICC line). B. "You may need to provide a cold pack to the site three times (3x) per day.” Rationale: Cold is not typically used. Heat may sometimes help with circulation, but interventions are focused on infection control and antibiotics. C. "You will need to limit consumption of high protein foods.” Rationale: Clients with wounds and infections need adequate protein to promote tissue healing and immune function. D. "Your provider may ask you to walk multiple times per day to increase circulation.” Rationale: Excessive ambulation can worsen the condition. Rest and offloading pressure on the affected area are crucial in the acute phase.
