The client arrives at the health care clinic and states to the nurse that they were just bitten by a tick and would like to be tested for Lyme disease. The client tells the nurse that they removed the tick and flushed it down the toilet. Which nursing action is appropriate?

 1. Refer the client for a blood test immediately. 2. Inform the client that there is not a test available for Lyme disease. 3. Tell the client that testing is not necessary unless arthralgia develops. 4. Instruct the client to return in 4 to 6 weeks to be tested, because testing before this time is not reliable.
