Passage / Scenario
A client hospitalized with tetanus.When caring for the client hospitalized with tetanus, which of the following will the nurse include in the care plan?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C: Anticipate administration of opioids. Tetanus causes severe muscle spasms, leading to excruciating pain. Opioids are necessary to manage this pain effectively. Proper food handling (A) is important for preventing foodborne illnesses but not directly related to tetanus care. Offering food (B) and providing distraction activities (D) may be helpful for comfort but do not address the primary symptom of severe muscle spasms. No rationale given for choices E, F, and G.
