A 3-year-old male presents to the clinic, post-hospital discharge, for osteomyelitis. The mother states that he just stopped walking on his left leg for no reason, he had a high fever, and was in extreme pain.
 
  We went to the emergency room and laboratory tests and an MRI were done. He is on IV antibiotics, but I think we should stop the medicine now. He is much better.. Your understanding of the care and treatment of osteomyelitis enables you to respond with which of the following? 1. Typically speaking, depending on the organism being treated, most patients with osteomyelitis are treated with 6 to 8 weeks of IV antibiotics minimum, followed by a course of oral antibiotics directed by the infection control team..
   2. Sure, you can stop the antibiotics anytime. I am glad he is much better..
   3. If you stop the antibiotics now, your child will die..
   4. None of the above responses are correct.
