A nurse in a pediatric unit is caring for a group of clients. For which of the following diseases should the nurse implement droplet precautions?

A. There is no known significant interaction between garlic supplements and antidepressants.

B. There is no evidence to suggest that garlic supplements are contraindicated for individuals with a history of seizure disorders. Garlic is not known to exacerbate seizure activity or interact with anticonvulsant medications.
C. Garlic has antiplatelet properties, which can increase the risk of bleeding, especially when combined with other blood-thinning agents like aspirin. Clients who take aspirin daily are at an increased risk of bleeding complications if they also take garlic supplements. This makes it a contraindication in such cases.
D. There are no known contraindications specifically related to rheumatoid arthritis and garlic supplements.

A. Metoprolol is a beta-blocker used to treat hypertension and other cardiovascular conditions.

While it may be important for the provider to be aware of all medications, it is not the priority to report in this scenario.

B. Clopidogrel is an antiplatelet medication used to prevent blood clots in individuals at risk for cardiovascular events. While it may have implications for the procedure, it is not the priority to report in this scenario.

C. Metformin is an oral antidiabetic medication commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes. It is

important to report because there may be specific considerations regarding its use in the context of a colonoscopy, such as the risk of lactic acidosis.

D. Digoxin is a medication used to treat heart failure and certain arrhythmias. While it may have implications for the procedure, it is not the priority to report in this scenario.
