You are assisting your client Mrs. X with her morning bath. You know that your client started antibiotics two days ago for a urinary tract infection. During the bath, you notice a red raised rash all over her body. The client states that the areas are itchy. The PSW should:

a) Put some moisturizing cream on the affected skin
b) Report the rash immediately to his/her supervisor
c) Tell the client to make certain they go to their next doctor’s appointment
d) Ignore the rash for now but document your observation before you leave
