The nurse is collecting a medical history on a 34-year old client. The client reports: "I take oral antibiotics whenever she gets a sore throat, because she cannot afford to lose any time at work". What is the nurse's best response?

A. This is the correct response because it educates the client on the fact that many sore throats are viral in origin and antibiotics, which treat bacterial infections, would not be effective in such cases. Overuse of antibiotics can also contribute to antibiotic resistance. B. Asking the client to bring the bottle of antibiotics does not address the misuse of the medication. C. This statement is incorrect as streptococcal infections often involve fever. D. A throat culture would help confirm the cause of the sore throat, and antibiotics should not be taken without proper diagnosis.
