Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The patient should stop using the drug. The rash could indicate sensitivity to the drug or worsening of the condition being treated. Scrubbing the rash could cause further irritation and increase the risk for other infections. Continuing the drug could cause further complications. Decreasing the medication would be ineffective in treating the infection while continuing to risk further complications.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
After the medication is administered, the nurse assesses the patient for drug affects, both therapeutic and adverse. The nurse would assess the patient for allergies, preexisting conditions, and pregnancy before administering a medication.
