The nurse provided teaching to a patient diagnosed with infective endocarditis. what statement by the patient indicates a need for further teaching?

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

1  "I will call my health care provider if I have a fever or feel really tired."

2  "I will make sure I take antibiotics anytime I go to the dentist."

3  "I will use antibiotic cream on any cuts."

4  "I will not use dental floss.

2)  "I will make sure I take antibiotics anytime I go to the dentist."

Explanation:

Endocarditis refers to the infection of the inner lining of the heart valves and chambers called endocardium which id left untreated could cause the death of the person.

The disease occurs when the microbes like bacteria and fungi enter the human body from the respiratory system, urinary system, reproductive system and spread through the bloodstream and damage the heart.

The patients are advised to take antibiotics only for invasive dental procedures when they have prosthetic valves and not always visiting the dentists.

The patients are advised to avoid the dental floss, use antibiotic cream on cuts and should call health care if feels fever and tiredness.

Thus, Option-2 is the correct answer.

i don't know im sorry.
