Question

A client was prescribed a 10-day course of antibiotics for the treatment of sinusitis. The client experienced symptoms relief after 3 days and stopped taking the antibiotics at that time. What is a priority nursing diagnosis for this client?

- Acute confusion
- Deficient knowledge
- Noncompliance
- Risk for injury

Answer 1

Non compliance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Antibiotics may be defined as the drugs taken to induce and kill the growth of other microorganism. The patients should complete their treatment of the prescribed antibiotics suggested by doctors.

Non compliance is generally used for the patient that has not taken the proper treatment and has not completed the proper treatment as prescribed the nurses. Here, the clients stop taking antibiotics after three days and represent the noncompliance as the priority nursing diagnosis of the patient.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c).
