Question

The nurse determines that a client recently diagnosed with subacute bacterial endocarditis understands discharge teaching upon which client statement?

Answer 1

"I have to call my doctor so I can get antibiotics before seeing the dentist."

Step-by-step explanation:

Once an individual is diagnosed with subacute bacterial endocarditis, there is a high risk for repeated episodes. Thus, such client is placed on Antibiotic prophylaxis before or after dental procedures so that this will prevent the client from having any further infections. Unless there is an evidence of heart failure, such patient has no routine restriction on sodium.
