4. The patient asks what kind of treatment may be available. Which of the following statements is the most appropriate response by the RN?
Antiviral drugs are not appropriate as symptoms have been present for greater than 72 hours
There is no pharmacological treatment for shingles
Oral acyclovir will likely be prescribed by the physician
Homework Answers

So the use of the basic antiviral drugs like Acyclovir should be used at proper time at instant onset of action and within the 72 hours for the efective use after that it is not appropriate.
