Ans: A
Feedback:
The nurse should encourage a client to wear protective clothing while going out in the sun to reduce the effect of photosensitivity. While increasing the fluid intake is recommended, it does not help combat the effects of photosensitivity. There is no need to avoid lights while indoors; the skin becomes sensitive only to harsh sunlight during sulfonamide therapy. Wearing protective footwear may protect the feet from injury, but it will not protect the skin from the harmful effects of photosensitivity.
