Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who was admitted with suspected rheumatic fever. The provider prescribes an anti-streptolysin O (ASO) titer. The parent asks the nurse the purpose of the test. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: An elevated ASO titer confirms a recent streptococcal infection, which is a key factor in diagnosing rheumatic fever, as it indicates the body's immune response to streptolysin O produced by group A Streptococcus. It does not measure aminoglycoside levels, directly diagnose rheumatic fever, or confirm immunity.
