The Father of a Third Grade Girl Has Brought His

The father of a third grade girl has brought his daughter to a walk-in clinic because he believes the girl has pink eye, which has been going around the students in her class.

A) "The insides of her eyelids have become infected. This often produces severe discomfort."
B) "The surfaces of her eyes have bacteria or a virus established, and it's important to maintain good hand hygiene until it goes away."
C) "An antibiotic ointment will likely resolve her infection, but pain control will be necessary in the mean time."
D) "It's important to aggressively treat this in children, since damage to her sight can result if it's not treated."
