Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increasing fluids to at least 3000 mL/day is the most appropriate nursing intervention when administering sulfonamides. This helps prevent crystalluria and renal damage, which can be caused by the drug. Encouraging liquids that produce acid urine and eating a diet that leaves an alkaline ash are not necessary for sulfonamide administration. Inserting a Foley catheter after therapy may be necessary for other medical reasons, but not specifically related to sulfonamide administration.
