A nurse is reinforcing discharge teaching with a client who has a prescription for antibiotictherapy. The client reports experiencing diarrhea when taking antibiotics. Which of the following foods should the nurse recommend to lessen the occurrence of diarrhea?

Choice A reason:

Arching should not be expected. Arching of the body is not a typical manifestation of bacterial pneumonia. It may be seen in infants with certain conditions such as abdominal pain or neurologic issues, but it is not specific to pneumonia.

Choice B reason:

Drooling should not be expected. Drooling is not a common manifestation of bacterial pneumonia. It may be seen in certain conditions affecting the throat or mouth, but it is not directly related to pneumonia.

Choice C reason:

Fever is the correct answer. Bacterial pneumonia is an infection in the lungs caused by bacteria. When a child has bacterial pneumonia, their body's immune system responds to the infection, leading to inflammation and fever.

Choice D reason:

Steatorrhea should not be expected. Steatorrhea refers to fatty, bulky, and foul-smelling stools and is not associated with bacterial pneumonia. Steatorrhea may be seen in conditions affecting the gastrointestinal system and fat absorption.

Choice E reason:

Tinnitus should not be expected. Tinnitus is the perception of noise or ringing in the ears and is not a typical manifestation of bacterial pneumonia. Tinnitus can be associated with various ear-related conditions or medication side effects, but it is not directly related to pneumonia.

A.Urinary specimens collected from the bag may be contaminated and do not provide a reliable sample. A sterile specimen should be collected from the catheter port if needed.

B.In male patients secure catheter to upper thigh (with penis directed downward) or abdomen (with penis directed toward chest), allowing enough slack to prevent tension.

C.Guidelines recommend that the urinary drainage bag be kept below the level of the bladder, typically lower than the waist, to ensure proper urine flow and prevent reflux.

D.Coiling the tubing can impede proper drainage, leading to potential complications like urinary retention and infection.
