The nurse is caring for a client with severe acne vulgaris who has been prescribed oral antibiotics. Which action should the nurse include in the nursing management of the client?

Explanation: Regular monitoring of liver function is essential for clients receiving oral antibiotics for acne vulgaris because some antibiotics may have the potential to cause hepatotoxicity (liver damage). Monitoring liver function helps detect any adverse effects and ensures the client's safety during treatment.

Incorrect choices: a. Encourage the client to avoid consuming dairy products during antibiotic treatment. - There is no specific evidence that links dairy consumption with the effectiveness of oral antibiotics for acne vulgaris. Dairy restriction is not typically indicated for clients on acne treatment.

b. Educate the client on the importance of sun exposure for vitamin D synthesis. - While sun exposure can contribute to vitamin D synthesis, it is not specifically relevant to the client's treatment with oral antibiotics for acne vulgaris. In fact, sun exposure should be minimized or accompanied by sunscreen due to the potential for photosensitivity caused by some antibiotics.

d. Recommend the use of topical benzoyl peroxide in combination with oral antibiotics. - This may be a valid treatment option; however, the question specifically asks for a nursing management action related to the oral antibiotics. The nurse's responsibility is to monitor the client's response to the prescribed oral antibiotics and potential side effects, not topical treatment recommendations.
