Question 1 of 5
A patient has been prescribed the antibiotic doxycycline. What is the most important information for the nurse to include when educating the patient?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Take the medication with a full glass of water. This is important because doxycycline can cause esophageal irritation if not taken with a full glass of water and can lead to ulceration. Taking it with a full glass of water helps to prevent this side effect.
Choice A is incorrect because taking doxycycline with food may decrease its absorption.
Choice B is incorrect as antacids can interfere with the absorption of doxycycline.
Choice C is incorrect as consuming yogurt does not prevent superinfection, and it may also affect the absorption of the medication.
