A client with gastroenteritis is prescribed ondansetron for persistent vomiting. Which action should the nurse take before administering the medication?

Choice A rationale:

Education empowers the patient to prevent recurrence by understanding the causes and symptoms of foreign body-related vulvovaginitis, contributing to long-term management.

Choice B rationale:

Administering specific treatments like antivirals, antiparasitics, or antibiotics addresses the acute phase but does not focus on preventing future occurrences or patient education.

Choice C rationale:

Encouraging good hygiene and cotton underwear is essential, but it is more reactive than providing education for long-term prevention.

Choice D rationale:

Monitoring for complications is important, but the nurse should prioritize patient education to promote proactive management and prevention.

Ebola.

Choice A rationale:

Assessing blood glucose levels is not directly related to ondansetron administration for vomiting. Ondansetron does not typically affect blood glucose levels.

Choice B rationale:

Obtaining a stool sample for culture and microscopy is important for diagnosing the cause of gastroenteritis, but it is not a necessary step before administering ondansetron.

Choice C rationale:

Monitoring urinary output is not directly associated with the administration of ondansetron. It's important for assessing hydration status, but it's not the immediate concern when administering this antiemetic medication.

Choice D rationale:

Checking vital signs is essential before giving any medication to ensure the client's overall stability and to detect any potential contraindications or adverse reactions.
