I actually don't think it looks that bad. 
It looks like it inflated quite a bit. The mouth closing is a good sign. Exposed siphonoglyphs are not really a concern.
I typically let my gigs acclimate without any meds until the evening. Right before lights out I'll determine if I need to do a water change (if there is a lot of waste or discharge). After the water change I'll observe the nem for a few minutes. If I determine the nem needs treatment, I'll add the meds and turn off the lights, and hope for the best when I wake up in the morning.
Some believe that the antibiotic treatment doesn't stress out the nem. I tend to think it does because I believe bleaching and the antibiotics are related. If you don't need to treat it, I don't recommend doing it. However, if it deflates, even once, then definitely treat the nem and don't wait for the second deflation. By that time it may be too late.
