The father of a school-age child who requires hospital admission for intravenous antibiotics to treat osteomyelitis states, I don't understand why normal antibiotics can't be used. Which should the nurse include in the response to the father?
 
  1. The antibiotic of choice is not available in oral form.
  2. Blood flow to bones is limited, and parenteral administration is necessary to get appropriate blood levels.
  3. Because the child is older now, it is harder to get the child to cooperate with oral antibiotics.
  4. Because 2 weeks of therapy is necessary, the intravenous route will produce fewer side effects.
