Which of the following responses by an eighteen-year-old father whose neonate has acute streptococcal pharyngitis indicates that he understands the nurse’s instructions?
  1. “I’ll rest my child in bed for the first two days while administrating the medications.”
  2. “I will have my child take these antibiotic pills until all the medicine is finished.”
  3. “I won’t get my child close to anyone until they are finished taking all of my medication.”
  4. “I will not give any over-the-counter pills to my child while he is taking the antibiotics.”
Explanation
Answer - B - The response that indicates the father understands the nurse’s instructions is: “I will have my child take these antibiotic pills until all the medicine is finished.” Therapeutic management of the disease involves a ten-day course of penicillin. This should be continued for ten days to eliminate organisms that might initiate rheumatic fever and to reduce spread of certain strains of strep to family members or contacts.
