A 56 year old patient was admitted 4 days ago with Cellulitis to the left leg. IV antibiotic therapy was initiated and antibiotic therapy will need to continue for at least 10 days. The patient has a long list of noted allergies. The patient may be discharged and sent home on oral antibiotics. During the course of this admission which statement by the patient would be considered important assessment data that is imperative information for the nurse to gather regarding prescribed antibiotic therapy since we know that planning for discharge is a continuous process and starts on day one of a patients admission?
