Ans: A
Feedback:
If diarrhea is suspected, the nurse should notify the primary health care provider immediately. The nurse should wait for the primary health care provider's instructions before continuing with the prescribed regimen. Yogurt or buttermilk may help prevent fungal superinfections, but they will not help alleviate the patient's condition at this stage. Changes in the diet are not recommended unless instructed by the primary health care provider.
