Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Lincosamide is contraindicated in patients taking cisapride. Tetracyclines are contraindicated in children younger than 9 years of age and pregnant women. Macrolides are contraindicated in patients with pre-existing liver disease and patients with myasthenia gravis.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Telithromycin can cause visual disturbances such as difficulty focusing and accommodating to light. Therefore, the priority nursing diagnosis would be Risk for Injury related to these visual disturbances. Aminoglycosides can cause nephrotoxicity, leading to a nursing diagnosis of Ineffective Renal Perfusion. Although diarrhea and skin rashes can occur, these would not be a priority at this time.
