NURS 368 TEST 4 Questions And Verified Detailed AnswersThe client calls the clinic to speak with the nurse. The client states that a week ago the
client was treated for strep throat and had been prescribed penicillin. Although the
client is feeling better, the client has stopped taking the medication "today," despite
having "a few pills left." What is the nurse's best response?
"Okay, thank you for letting me know."
"It is very important you take all of the medication so that all the germs are killed.
Otherwise they can come right back and be even stronger."
"You will have to come to the clinic and be seen by your physician so we can make sure
it is really gone."
"What you have described are just halo effects of the drug you were taking. They will go
away when the drug is totally out of your system." - ANSWER "It is of critical importance
that you take all the medication so all the germs are killed. Otherwise they could come
right back and be even stronger."

(mottling) of tooth enamel, and depress bone growth
