A client presents with tinea corporis, and the prescriber orders itraconazole. When educating the client about this medication, the nurse will include which statement?

"Apply the medication over the entire body twice daily for two weeks."

"Use the medication for at least one week after the symptoms have cleared."

"Sun exposure will minimize the drug's effects."

"This drug is effective after a single application."

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

a) Itraconazole is typically administered orally for fungal infections, not applied topically. This statement is incorrect.

b) Using the medication for at least one week after symptoms have cleared is not a standard instruction for itraconazole. Treatment duration is usually prescribed by the healthcare provider.

c) Sun exposure does not minimize the effects of itraconazole. This statement is inaccurate.

d) Itraconazole is not usually applied topically, but this option is the closest to the correct information. However, the more accurate statement would be that itraconazole is effective when taken systemically for fungal infections.
