Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3

1. Nystatin is not ingested immediately.
2. Nystatin should not be diluted.
3. Nystatin is intended to be taken undiluted and swished in the mouth to provide a local, rather than systemic, effect.
4. Nystatin should be swallowed after swishing in the mouth.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4

1. Adequate carbohydrate intake is not a priority.
2. Vitamin C intake is not a priority.
3. Chronic fatigue is not a priority.
4. The loss of fluid and electrolytes though vomiting puts the client at risk for dehydration.
