The primary care NP sees a child in the clinic who has a 5-day history of cough, poor fluid intake, and fever of 103 F. A chest radiograph shows areas of consolidation in the child's lungs.
 
  The child's cough is nonproductive, and the NP is unable to get a sputum specimen. The NP should: a. prescribe a broad-spectrum antibiotic to cover any possible causative organism.
  b. ask colleagues in the clinic about children they have treated and what they have prescribed.
  c. give the child's parents a specimen cup and ask that they try to bring in a sputum specimen for culture.
  d. refer the child to a pulmonologist or infectious disease specialist to help determine the proper treatment.
