An adult is receiving Gantrisin 1 g PO qid for a urinary tract infection. Which statement that she makes indicates a need for more teaching?
ExplanationThe client should be taught that a rash might be an adverse reaction to Gantrisin, and it should be reported to the physician, not self-medicated. Gantrisin is a sulfa medication and should be taken with a full glass of water. Photosensitivity is common; the client should stay out of the sun. All antimicrobials should be taken for the full course of treatment even if the person feels better.
