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.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
