Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client receiving ciprofloxacin for treatment of a urinary tract infection (UTI). The nurse will include which black box warning (BBW) in the discharge education?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: This drug has a black box warning for causing tendon rupture. Ciprofloxacin is known to increase the risk of tendonitis and tendon rupture, especially in older adults and those taking corticosteroids. This BBW is important to include in discharge education to prevent potential serious adverse effects.
Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because ciprofloxacin is not associated with thromboembolic events, endometrial cancers, or breast cancer. It is crucial for the nurse to focus on the most relevant and significant BBW to ensure patient safety and understanding.
