A nurse caring for a child with pneumonia should instruct the caregivers on the diet the client should follow. A nurse should not teach the caregivers or the family members to administer antibiotic injections, but a nurse herself must inject the prescribed antibiotic. The nurse must visit the client two to three times a week to assess the medication and treatment provided by the caregivers and also the progress of the client's health. This helps to avoid any complications during treatment. The nurse should educate and assist all the family members of the client to maintain hygienic conditions rather than instructing only the caregiver to maintain personal hygiene. Any family member may visit the client and assist the child in daily activities. Thus, it is important that all the family members practice hygiene to prevent the spread of infection.
