The nurse is discharging a client with a prescription for penicillin. The client asks the nurse how this antibiotic works. The nurse’s response is based on the knowledge that the mechanism of action of this class of anti-infectives is:


1. inhibiting cell wall synthesis.
2. causing disruption of the cell wall, resulting in the cell absorbing water and lysing.
3. binding to specific proteins, resulting in the cell’s inability to build a wall.
4. interfering with the transfer of ribonucleic acid (RNA).
5. changing the permeability of the cell membrane.
