    An adolescent presents to the clinic with extreme fatigue, fever, and body aches and is diagnosed with Epstein-Barr virus. What statement by the adolescent shows that discharge teaching was effective?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Symptoms of Epstein-Barr virus, also known as mononucleosis, can last for several weeks to months, not just 7-10 days. B. Epstein-Barr virus is spread through saliva, so avoiding sharing drinks or utensils helps prevent transmission. C. Bed rest is recommended, but it is not the only measure needed; monitoring and managing symptoms is also important. D. Epstein-Barr virus is a viral infection, and antibiotics are not effective in treating viral illnesses.
