Question 1 of 5
A client tells the nurse that he is having nausea and decreased appetite during drug therapy with a tetracycline antibiotic. Which statement is the nurse's best advice to the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Drink a full glass of water with each dose. Water helps prevent gastrointestinal irritation caused by tetracycline. Milk, cheese, and yogurt can bind to tetracycline and reduce its absorption, decreasing its effectiveness. Taking an antacid with tetracycline can also reduce its absorption.
Therefore, the best advice is to take it with water to avoid these interactions and ensure optimal drug absorption.
