Which nursing diagnosis should a nurse add to the plan of care for a client diagnosed with Lyme disease?
ExplanationLyme disease is a spirochetal infection transmitted by the bite of an infected deer tick. Localized erythema occurs at the site of the tick bite 2 to 30 days after exposure and is accompanied by acute viral-like symptoms, including joint and muscle pain. Diarrhea, hyperalertness, and pruritus are not associated with Lyme disease.
