Question 1 of 5
Jennifer takes birth control pills. Recently she was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection and is taking ciprofloxacin (Cipro). To maximize the therapeutic effects of both types of drugs, what should the nurse tell Jennifer?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Complete the ciprofloxacin therapy and use a backup method of contraception. Ciprofloxacin can reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills. By completing the full course of ciprofloxacin therapy and using a backup method of contraception, Jennifer can ensure that both the urinary tract infection and contraceptive effects are optimized.
Choice A is incorrect as adding another drug for the urinary tract infection may not be necessary if ciprofloxacin is effective.
Choice B is incorrect as continuing both therapies simultaneously may lead to decreased effectiveness of the birth control pills.
Choice D is incorrect as abstaining from sexual activity is not necessary if a backup method of contraception is used.
