    A nurse is preparing to discharge a child who has a new prescription for an oral antibiotic. Which of following information should the nurse include in the discharge instructions? (Select all that apply.)

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Providing written information about the medication is important for ensuring the parents understand the treatment plan and can reference it later. B. Discussing the potential adverse effects of the medication prepares the parents for what to monitor in their child and when to seek help. C. Stopping the medication when the child feels better is incorrect, as it is essential to complete the full course of antibiotics to prevent resistance and recurrence of infection. D. Explaining the reason why the child is taking the medication helps parents understand its importance and can enhance adherence to the treatment plan. E. Advising against using a kitchen spoon for administering the medication is important, as it can lead to incorrect dosing; proper dosing devices should be used instead.
