A nurse is developing goals for a community education program. Which of the following methods should be used?

Nifedipine is a calcium channel blocker that can cause hypotension as a side effect, so the client should be advised to rise slowly from a sitting or lying position to avoid dizziness or fainting. The client does not necessarily need to be hospitalized and should continue taking the medication until a healthcare provider advises otherwise. The medication is typically continued until around 36-37 weeks gestation. There is no need to monitor respiratory rate with this medication.

In the case of a bioterrorism attack involving anthrax, the main priority for the nurse is to administer antibiotics within 48 hours of exposure using the Strategic National Stockpile. Anthrax is a serious bacterial infection that can be used as a bioterrorism weapon. Antibiotics, such as ciprofloxacin, doxycycline, and penicillin, can be used to prevent anthrax from developing in people who have been exposed.

There is currently no vaccine available for anthrax exposure. Also, symptom support alone is not enough in cases of anthrax exposure, as anthrax can progress rapidly and lead to serious complications. Placing everyone who was exposed in quarantine may not be necessary in all situations, and should be determined on a case-by-case basis depending on the extent and severity of the exposure.
