Choice C rationale:

Administering broad-spectrum antibiotics as prescribed is an appropriate nursing intervention for managing Osteomyelitis.

Osteomyelitis is primarily treated with antibiotics to target the causative bacteria.

Broad-spectrum antibiotics are often initially used until the specific pathogen is identified, and then targeted antibiotics can be prescribed.

Choice A rationale:

Administering antifungal medications (choice A) is not the standard treatment for Osteomyelitis.

Osteomyelitis is typically caused by bacterial infections, not fungal infections.

Choice B rationale:

Providing pain management through physical therapy (choice B) is important for the overall comfort and rehabilitation of the patient, but it is not the primary intervention for managing Osteomyelitis.

Antibiotics to treat the infection take precedence.

Choice D rationale:

Recommending a high-dose vitamin C supplement (choice D) is not a standard intervention for managing Osteomyelitis.

While vitamin C can support the immune system and wound healing, it is not a primary treatment for this condition.

Antibiotics and, in some cases, surgical interventions are the mainstay of treatment.
