Q-2

A nurse practitioner is following up with a patient who was treated for chronic sinusitis 3 weeks ago. The patient reports that her symptoms, maxillary sinus pressure, sneezing, headaches, and fatigue, are still the same as they were 3 weeks ago. The patient completed a 5-day course of azithromycin. In addition, the patient does not understand why she is still having symptoms. The nurse practitioner looks back in the chart and does not find any documentation regarding patient education completed at the last office visit. What patient education would be important for the nurse practitioner to review for a chronic sinusitis patient? Justify your explanation.
