a client is prescribed sulfamethoxazole for treatment of urinary tract infection. identification of which other medication noted on the client’s medical record requires further collaboration with the primary health care provider (phcp)?
rationale, strategy, tip
answer options
1 insulin
2 phenytoin
3 metoprolol
4 propranolol

Explanation:

Sulfamethoxazole can interact with phenytoin, increasing phenytoin levels and risk of toxicity. Insulin (for diabetes), metoprolol, and propranolol (beta - blockers) don't have a significant interaction with sulfamethoxazole that would require immediate collaboration with the PHCP. So, when phenytoin is noted, further collaboration is needed.

Answer:

1. Phenytoin
