The parents of an infant who has been taking antibiotics for acute otitis media (AOM) ask if the entire prescription needs to be given as the child is absolutely free of any signs of infection.
 
  The nurse's response is based on the knowledge that the antibiotics: a. Can be stopped if there is no elevation of temperature
  b. Should be given until the supply is gone
  c. Can be stopped for a few days, but restarted if signs reappear
  d. Should be taken for at least 3 days

Question 2

The mother of a 3 year old complains to the nurse after the physician leaves the room, saying, My baby is sick with a fever, bad cough, runny nose, and flushed cheeks.
 
  He didn't give me any medicine to make him better What is the nurse's best response? 1. It is okay to give your child over-the-counter medicine. Just make sure you get a cold and fever medication..
   2. The doctor stated that he believes this to be a virus, so antibiotics will not relieve the symptoms..
   3. The best way to treat your child is to give him plenty of fluids, bedrest, and coloring books..
   4. The doctor believes this to be a viral illness, so you can use over-the-counter cold medications as long as they say pediatric' on the label..

Answer to Question 1

B
The entire prescription of the antibiotics should be administered to make sure the infection is completely gone.

Answer to Question 2

2

1. You should not use cold medicine in children under the age of 5.
2. The doctor stated that he believes this to be a virus, so antibiotics will not relieve the symptoms..

3. Fluids, bedrest, and limiting contacts would help the management of current symptoms. This does not address the mother's concern of not receiving medication.
