    The practical nurse (PN) administers an anticonvulsant that causes photosensitivity. Which action should the PN take after administering the medication?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Remind the client to protect skin from sunlight: Photosensitivity increases the risk of sunburn; clients should avoid excessive sun exposure, wear protective clothing, and use sunscreen. B. Monitor the client's temperature hourly x 4: Not directly related to photosensitivity; temperature monitoring is not required unless fever is expected. C. Provide a snack rich in Vitamins C and D: Not a standard measure for photosensitivity prevention. D. Dim the lights in the client's room for one hour: Indoor lighting does not typically trigger photosensitivity reactions.
