The nurse should expect to include tetracycline treatment in the management of the client with Lyme disease. Lyme disease is a bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, and tetracycline antibiotics such as doxycycline are commonly used to treat it. Complete bed rest for 6–8 weeks is not required for Lyme disease, IV amphotericin B is used for fungal infections like histoplasmosis, and there is no specific dietary requirement such as a high-protein diet with limited fluids for Lyme disease patients.
