The client with irritable bowel disease (IBD) is prescribed sulfasalazine, a sulfonamide antibiotic. Which intervention should the nurse implement when administering the medication?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Hydration (2000 mL daily) prevents kidney complications from sulfasalazine. Bruising, once-daily dosing, and stool assessment are not primary administration concerns.
