Sonia is a 15 year old teen who plays varsity basketball and is generally well and up-to-date with health maintenance. She presents for an urgent care visit with a 6-h history of sudden onset nausea, with multiple episodes of vomiting, abdominal cramping and 2 episodes of diarrhea with stool described as light to dark brown without visible blood. Her VS are within normal limits and mucous membranes are slightly dry. She has slightly hyperactive bowel sounds and mild exceptional tenderness without rebound. When considering a diagnosis of staphylococcal food poisoning, which would most likely be reported by Sonia?
A. "One after another, the people on my basketball team have been getting sick like this during the past week."
B. "My basketball team stopped at a restaurant today to get something to eat on our way home from a game. Practically all of us who got turkey sandwiches are sick like this.”
C. "I had an ear infection a couple of weeks ago, and I took about 5 days of an antibiotic."
D. "I have really bad cramps during my period, and I take a lot of ibuprofen to help out."
