Question

A client has been tired, aching, and feverish with a sore throat and cough for the past 18 hours. The client called the healthcare provider's office for an appointment, but none are available. Based on the symptoms, the provider is concerned that the client may have the flu and recommends going to a nearby urgent care center today. Why should the client be seen as soon as possible in urgent care? Select all that apply. Urgent care will provide a definitive diagnosis of the flu. Treatment for influenza illness should be started as quickly as possible from the onset of symptoms. The client's symptoms are not severe enough to justify a trip to the emergency room. Urgent care will begin treatment with a broad-spectrum antibiotic. Quick treatment will decrease the chance of the client spreading the virus to the family.
