Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

Rationale 2: Ciprofloxacin is contraindicated in clients who are pregnant or breast-feeding because the drug is secreted in breast milk, and crosses the placenta.
Rationale 3: Symptoms of menopause are not contraindications for the use of ciprofloxacin.
Rationale 4: Fluoroquinolones are not administered to clients under age 18 unless the benefits outweigh the risks. This client is 19; therefore, the medication is not contraindicated due to age.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
