Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, B, C, E

Nursing interventions to support antibiotic therapy include encouraging an adequate fluid intake, monitoring for manifestations of an allergic reaction, assessing renal and hepatic function, and assessing vital signs. A baseline electrocardiogram is appropriate for antimalarial medication.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

An area of erythema after a patch test indicates a positive response to a specific antigen. Indirect Coombs' test detects the presence of circulating antibodies against RBCs. No agglutination is considered a normal finding. An eosinophil count of 2 is within the normal range. An Rh antigen with a negative result indicates that the client does not carry the antigen and is not an indicator of a reaction to a specific antigen.
