A child is starting antibiotic therapy for bacterial conjunctivitis. The parents ask when the child may return to daycare. The nurse's BEST response would be which of the following?

A. This statement is not accurate as many daycare policies allow children to return after a shorter period if symptoms improve. B. It is generally accepted that children with bacterial conjunctivitis can return to daycare after 24 to 48 hours of antibiotic treatment, as the risk of contagion is significantly reduced. Parents should confirm the specific policy with their daycare. C. While waiting for symptoms to completely resolve is ideal, it is not the most practical or common recommendation. D. Completing the full course of antibiotics is important for the child's health, but it is not necessary for returning to school.
