The patient's sputum culture showed no organisms present, indicating that the patient's infection is likely viral and not bacterial. Antibiotics are not effective against viral infections, so the patient requires education regarding the appropriate treatment for their infection. Choices A, B, and C do not require further education as they are accurate statements.
