A nurse is caring for a 38-year-old client who received a kidney transplant 3 months ago and is taking tacrolimus, mycophenolate, and prednisone. Which nursing intervention is the highest priority to prevent transplant rejection?
A 45-year-old client received a kidney transplant 6 months ago and is being seen in the outpatient clinic for routine follow-up. The client's current medications include tacrolimus, mycophenolate, and prednisone.
1Monitor for signs and symptoms of infection and teach proper hand hygiene techniques✓ 정답
2Encourage the client to maintain a high-protein diet to support kidney function
3Assess for signs of acute rejection such as decreased urine output and elevated creatinine
4Educate the client about the importance of taking immunosuppressive medications exactly as prescribe
해설
Preventing infection is highest priority because immunosuppressive therapy increases infection risk, which can trigger rejection. Other interventions (e.g., medication adherence) are important but secondary.
