The nurse is caring for a client who is being discharged with a prescription for tetracycline. Which of the following statements, if made by the client, demonstrates an understanding of the discharge instructions?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: "I will need to postpone my vacation at the beach until I finish this medication." This statement shows understanding because tetracycline can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight, increasing the risk of sunburn. Postponing the beach vacation until finishing the medication helps prevent sun-related side effects.
Choice A is incorrect because tetracycline can harm a developing fetus so it is not safe to become pregnant while taking it.
Choice C is incorrect because tanning while on tetracycline can increase the risk of severe sunburn.
Choice D is incorrect because stopping the medication early can lead to antibiotic resistance and incomplete treatment.
