Summary Introduction

To explain:

Why did the physician assistant (PA) apply bacitracin instead of clotrimazole?

Case summary:

A.T. is a 16-year-old boy who got cut in his hand while clearing the brush. He applied clotrimazole (Lotrimin) ointment which is the only medication availed in the family medicine cabinet. After two days, the wound was not better and it was very painful and A.T. visited the clinic. The physician assistant (PA) found the laceration was deep and without any drainage. After irrigating the wound with normal saline, the PA applied bacitracin and closed the wound with adhesive strips and dressed it in gauze. A.T. received a tetanus booster vaccine and got instructions from the nurse about the wound care. In addition, he was also suggested to take zinc and vitamin C supplements and also instructed not to use clotrimazole ointment on the wound.
