Cutaneous Anthrax Nursing Care Plan

The 24-year-old patient presented with a painless lesion on his right arm after accidentally slashing it while working on his farm. The lesion has a black center and has been worsening over time. The nurse will provide antibiotics to treat the cutaneous anthrax infection while monitoring the patient's vital signs and ensuring a comfortable environment. The goal is for the lesion to reduce in size or be cured after completing the prescribed antibiotic regimen over a short period. Regular evaluation will assess whether the treatment is effectively resolving the infection.
