To determine:
T.E.’s mother asks, “Why is the antibiotic a pill? It seems to me that if she has an ear infection, she should take eardrops!” What is the nurse’s best response?
Case summary:
T.E. is an 8-year-old girl who loves swimming. In her left ear, she had a fullness feeling and told her mother that her ear is itching and hurting. Her mother noted her temperature at 101° F (38.3° C). Her mother took her to the office and after examining T.E., the pediatrician said that T.E. has otitis media in her left ear and earwax buildup in both the ears. Manually, the pediatrician removed some earwax and prescribed oral antibiotics and earwax emulsifiers. The nurse met them to review the instructions.
