A woman using a contraceptive implant reports increasing redness, warmth and pus at the insertion site with a fever. Which nursing action is the priority?
Correct answer: B. Assess promptly for a local or systemic infection
- A. Advise her to massage the area daily
- B. Assess promptly for a local or systemic infection
- C. Tell her this is expected for several months
- D. Remove the implant at home using clean scissors
Explanation
Fever with spreading redness, warmth and pus suggests infection and requires prompt clinical assessment and treatment. The implant should not be removed by the woman, and massage or reassurance could delay care.
