Simulated
The nurse is providing discharge instructions to the caregiver of an infant with recurrent otitis media. Which statement made by the caregiver should the nurse recognize as needing additional education about minimizing subsequent infections?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Benzocaine otic drops relieve pain, not prevent infections; regular use suggests misunderstanding, needing education. Completing antibiotics, vaccinating, and avoiding smoke are correct prevention strategies.
