Cathy is a 43-year-old woman who presents to the clinic at which you you are employed, complaining of a sore throat and headache. Upon examination, she is diagnosed with a virus that is currently prevalent at her place of employment. You explain to her that she needs to rest and drink liquids until the virus has run its course. She becomes irate and tells you that she wants an antibiotic.
As a nurse practitioner, you will frequently educate your patients. What is the rationale for telling the patient to rest and hydrate? How much fluid should she drink? How often? What are the alternatives to water?
Use a graphic, illustration, or chart to explain to the difference between a viral and bacterial infection.
What are some nonpharmacological alternatives you could consider for a patient who demands an antibiotic? Provide the rationale.
