Question 1 of 5
A client enters the emergency department with suspected exposure to anthrax. The physician confirms this suspicion and orders the client an antibiotic. Which medication would the nurse expect the physician to order?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Ciprofloxacin. Ciprofloxacin is the preferred antibiotic for treating anthrax due to its effectiveness against the anthrax bacteria. It is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial DNA replication. Doxycycline (choice
A) is also effective in treating anthrax and is an alternative option. Penicillin (choice
B) and Oxytetracycline (Terramycin) (choice
C) are not recommended for anthrax treatment as they are not as effective against the anthrax bacteria.
Therefore, the physician would most likely order Ciprofloxacin for this client.
