Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback
A The parent should not discontinue antibiotics when signs of infection disappear.
To ensure complete healing, the parent should understand that the entire course
of antibiotics should be given as prescribed.
B A warm soak is indicated for the treatment of cellulitis. Ice will decrease
circulation to the affected area and inhibit the healing process.
C The disappearance of redness indicates healing and is not a reason to seek
medical advice.
D Warm soaks applied every 4 hours while the child is awake increase circulation
to the infected area, relieve pain, and promote healing.
