A client is in the urgent care center after experiencing a black widow spider bite. The nurse prepares to give which product to treat this injury?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
The correct answer is A: Antivenins or antisera. Antivenins are specific antibodies that neutralize the venom of black widow spiders, providing immediate relief. The other choices are incorrect because: B: Active immunizing drug is used for prevention, not immediate treatment. C: Live vaccine is also for prevention and will not treat a spider bite. D: Tetanus immune globulin is used to prevent tetanus infection, not treat spider bites.
