The nurse teaches the parents of a child being treated with antibiotics for an ear infection for a follow-up visit after the child completes the course of therapy. Which of the following statements by the parents indicates that they understand the reason for the follow-up visit
A. "Her hearing needs to be checked to see if the infection has done any damage. "
B. "The doctor wants to make certain she has taken all the antibiotics. "
C. "We need to make sure that her ear infection has completely cleared. "
D. "She needs to get another prescription for second course of antibiotics. "
参考答案：C
解析：Because ear infections are sometimes difficult to treat, determining if the antibiotic has resolved the infection is essential. If the client is not rechecked, it will be difficult to determine if another infection is a continuation of a previous infection or a separate new infection.
