Correct answer
A,B
Rationale
The correct answer is A,B. First, providing education on medications is crucial to ensure the adolescent understands the prescribed treatment. This empowers them to adhere to the regimen, promoting better health outcomes. Second, administering ceftriaxone aligns with the provider's prescription and is a direct action the nurse must take to carry out the treatment plan. Choices C, D, E, F, and G are incorrect because administering metronidazole and educating on condom use (C) is not the immediate priority. Administering metronidazole is not mentioned in the provider's prescriptions, so it is not the first step. Choices D, E, F, and G are irrelevant and not related to the provider's prescriptions or the adolescent's care.
