Answer to Question 1

A
Administer triptan migraine medication in nasal spray or injection for patients with severe nausea and vomiting who have trouble taking oral medications. An antiemetic, such as prochlorperazine or metoclopramide, may be used, although the latter has serious side effects.

Answer to Question 2

C
A minimum of 10 days of treatment is recommended for any infection caused by group A B-hemolytic streptococcus to prevent the occurrence of rheumatic fever or acute glomerulonephritis. This patient shows signs of acute glomerulonephritis, so the NP should obtain an ASO titer and creatinine clearance to help confirm the diagnosis. It is not necessary to repeat the throat culture. Treatment involves controlling blood pressure and maintaining renal function, not giving antibiotics.

Did you know?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
