A client was treated for a streptococcal throat infection 2 weeks ago. The client now has been diagnosed with acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis. The client asks the nurse how he could have prevented this condition. What should the nurse tell the client?

1. “See your physician for an early diagnosis and treatment of a sore throat.”

2. “As long as you do not have a fever, it is sufficient to gargle daily with an antibacterial mouthwash.”

3. “You may continue to utilize the previously prescribed antibiotics until they are gone.”

4. “Unscented bar soap may be used in showers.”
