Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has a urinary tract infection (UTI) and is taking ciprofloxacin. Which of the following instructions should the nurse give to the client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: You should report any tendon discomfort you experience while taking this medication. Ciprofloxacin belongs to a class of antibiotics known as fluoroquinolones, which can lead to tendonitis or tendon rupture as a rare but serious side effect. By instructing the client to report any tendon discomfort, the nurse is emphasizing the importance of monitoring for this potential adverse reaction and seeking prompt medical attention if needed. Option A is incorrect because ciprofloxacin does not typically cause photophobia. Option B is incorrect as adequate fluid intake is important to prevent crystalluria associated with ciprofloxacin. Option C is incorrect because antacids can interfere with the absorption of ciprofloxacin.
