Photosensitivity, reduced effectiveness of oral contraceptives, and toxic effects are side effects of tetracycline used after the expiration date, and the nurse should instruct the client regarding these side effects when the client is prescribed this medication. Tetracycline should not be ingested with milk products. Blood in the urine is not a common side effect of tetracycline.

Answer to Question 2

A human body needs about 500 mg of sodium each day. The average intake of sodium for individuals in the United States is between 4000 to 6000 mg a day.
