A nurse is caring for a client following an open colectomy. Which of the following findings places the client at risk for delayed wound healing?

A.

A. Hepatitis C is a contraindication to atorvastatin due to the potential for hepatotoxicity and worsening liver function in individuals with preexisting liver disease.

B. Crohn's disease, peptic ulcer disease, and bronchitis are not contraindications to atorvastatin.

However, caution may be needed in individuals with gastrointestinal conditions due to potential gastrointestinal side effects of the medication.

C. Peptic ulcer disease is not a contraindication to atorvastatin. However, caution may be warranted in individuals with a history of gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcers due to potential gastrointestinal side effects of the medication.

D. Bronchitis is not a contraindication to atorvastatin. Atorvastatin primarily affects cholesterol levels and does not directly interact with bronchitis, a respiratory condition.

A. Administer an antitoxin: There is no specific antitoxin available for anthrax. Treatment primarily involves antibiotics and supportive care.

B. Quarantine the client: Quarantine may not be necessary unless the client is confirmed to have an active infection or poses a risk of spreading the disease to others.

C. Monitor the client for a productive cough: While respiratory symptoms can occur in inhalation anthrax, monitoring for a productive cough alone may not be sufficient for management.

D. Begin prophylactic treatment with ciprofloxacin: Prophylactic antibiotic treatment with ciprofloxacin or doxycycline is recommended following exposure to anthrax to prevent the development of the disease.
