A. "I’ll give the antibiotics for the full 10-day course of treatment. "
B. "I’ll give the antibiotics until my child’s ear pain is gone. "
C. "Whenever my child is cranky or pulls on an ear, I’ll give a dose of antibiotics. "
D. "If the ear pain is gone, there’s no need to see the physician for another ear examination. "
参考答案：A
解析：
Antibiotics must be given for the full course of therapy, even if the child feels well, otherwise the infection won’t be eradicated. Antibiotics should be taken at prescribed intervals to maintain blood levels and not as needed for pain. A reexamination at the end of the course of antibiotics is necessary to confirm that the infection is resolved.
