A nurse is teaching a client who has a fungal infection about fluconazole.
Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

This is because alcohol can increase the risk of liver damage and other side effects from fluconazole.Fluconazole is an antifungal medicine that is used to treat infections caused by fungus, such as yeast infections.

Choice A is wrong because fluconazole can be taken with or without food.

Food does not affect the absorption of the medicine.

Choice C is wrong because fluconazole can reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives, such as birth control pills, patches, rings, or injections.Therefore, a barrier method of contraception, such as condoms or diaphragms, should be used in addition to the hormonal method while taking fluconazole and for at least 1 week after the last dose.

Choice D is wrong because a rash can be a sign of a serious allergic reaction to fluconazole.

If a rash develops, the medication should not be stopped without consulting a doctor.Other symptoms of an allergic reaction include hives, itching, swelling, difficulty breathing, or fever.

This statement indicates a need for further education because oseltamivir does not prevent the transmission of influenza virus to others.Oseltamivir is an antiviral drug that can shorten the duration of symptoms, reduce the risk of complications, and work best if started within 48 hours of symptom onset. However, it does not eliminate the virus from the body or provide immunity against future infections.Therefore, the client should still practice good hygiene and avoid contact with others who are at high risk of influenza complications.

Choice A is wrong because oseltamivir can shorten the duration of symptoms by about one day if taken within 48 hours of symptom onset.

Choice C is wrong because oseltamivir works best if started within 48 hours of symptom onset, as it inhibits the viral replication and reduces the viral load.

Choice D is wrong because oseltamivir may cause nausea and vomiting as side effects in some people, especially if taken without food.These side effects are usually mild and transient and can be minimized by taking the medication with food or milk.
