The nurse is providing education to the parents of a pediatric client who is diagnosed with tinea capitis (ringworm of the scalp). Which statement made the parents indicates an appropriate understanding of the teaching session?
1. "We will give the griseofulvin on an empty stomach."
2. "We're glad ringworm isn't transmitted from person to person."
3. "Once the lesion is gone, we can stop the griseofulvin."
4. "We will give the griseofulvin with milk or peanut butter."
Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Parents are advised to give oral griseofulvin with fatty foods such as milk or peanut butter to enhance absorption. The medication must be used for the entire prescribed period even if the lesions are gone. All members of the family and household pets should be assessed for fungal lesions because person-to-person transmission is common.
