The nurse is teaching the client about the proper way to take the prescribed antibiotics at home. The nurse concludes that the client needs further instruction if the client states:
 
  1. I will take the medication until it is all gone.
  2. I will stop taking the medication when the symptoms are gone.
  3. I will not skip any doses.
  4. I will call the physician if the symptoms worsen.

Question 2

The nurse admits a 3-year-old child to the acute care facility for surgery to repair an umbilical hernia. During the admission exam, the nurse finds copious yellow drainage from the left eye, and the eye is very red.
 
  In addition to notifying the RN supervisor, the nurse will initiate: 1. Antibiotic therapy.
  2. Contact isolation.
  3. A patch for the left eye.
  4. Mittens on the child's hands.

Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Antibiotics are taken until all the medication ordered is taken. The client would need reinforcement if the client thought he should stop the medication when the symptoms are gone. The client is appropriate if he does not skip doses or if he calls if the symptoms get worse.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: The nurse should initiate contact isolation until the eye is treated for at least 24 hours with antibiotic eyedrops, because conjunctivitis is very contagious, and can be passed by contact.
