After reviewing information about lincosamide therapy, a group of nursing students demonstrate understanding of the information when they identify which of the following as a contraindication?

Choice A rationale:

Staphylococcus is not typically associated with causing diarrhea or harm to the intestinal mucosa. Staphylococcus is more commonly linked to skin and soft tissue infections, as well as food poisoning.

Choice B rationale:

Salmonella is a bacterium that can harm the intestinal mucosa and is a common cause of foodborne illness. It can lead to symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, and vomiting, which can be severe and potentially damage the intestinal lining.

Choice C rationale:

Streptococcus is not a common cause of diarrhea or harm to the intestinal mucosa. Streptococcus species are more often associated with respiratory and throat infections.

Choice D rationale:

Pseudomonas is not a typical cause of diarrhea or harm to the intestinal mucosa. Pseudomonas is known for its association with healthcare-associated infections and is more often linked to conditions like pneumonia and urinary tract infections.

Choice A rationale:

Influenza vaccine is not contraindicated during pregnancy. In fact, the influenza vaccine is recommended for pregnant women because they are at higher risk of complications from influenza. It can protect both the pregnant woman and her baby from the flu.

Choice B rationale:

Tetanus vaccine is not contraindicated during pregnancy. In fact, tetanus vaccination during pregnancy is essential to protect both the mother and the newborn. Tetanus can be life-threatening, and vaccination is a preventive measure.

Choice C rationale:

Rhogam is contraindicated during pregnancy if the mother is Rh-negative and the baby is also Rh-negative. Rhogam is given to Rh-negative mothers to prevent sensitization to Rh-positive blood in case of fetal-maternal bleeding. If both the mother and baby are Rh-negative, there's no need for Rhogam during pregnancy.

Choice D rationale:

MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccine is contraindicated during pregnancy. It contains live attenuated viruses and is generally not recommended for pregnant women due to the theoretical risk of transmitting the virus to the developing fetus. It's typically given postpartum if the woman is not already immune to these diseases.
