N ur sin g R e sponsibili tie s:Obtain patient history of infection before and during therapy to

assess responseAssess patient for signs and symptoms of infection, fever,

characteristics of wounds, sputum, urine, stool, ear ache, and WBCcount

Obtain CNS before drug therapy to identify if correct treatmenthas been initiated

Assess for allergic or hypersensitivity reactions: chills, fever,joint pain, pruritus and rash.

Monitor renal function: urine output, urinalysis: protein andblood.

Assess for over growth of infection: perineal itching, fever,malaise, redness, pain, swelling, drainage, rash, diarrhea, or changein character of cough and sputum.

Adver s e e ff e cts:

Decreased appetite, decreases movement or activity; difficult in

breathing, enlarged liver, general body swimming, muscle stiffness,yellow eyes or skin.Difficulty in swallowing; fast or irregular breathing;

lightheadedness or fainting; shortness of breath; skin rash or itching;swelling of eyelids, face, or lips

N ur sin g R e sponsibili tie s:

If you take warfarin(a blood thinner, you should know that vitamin kor food containing vitami k can affect the the drug

Vitamin K deficiency is very rare. It occurs when the cody cantproperl absorb the vitamihn from the intestinal tract

Vitamin k deficiency can also occur after long term treatment withantibiotics

If you are taking anticoagulant medicines(bloodthinners), the amountof vitamin k in your diet may affect how well these these medicinework.
