Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Tetracycline only stains adult teeth if it is taken when a child is 4 months to 8 years of age; This statement indicates a need for further teaching.
Tetracycline is indicated for H. pylori and acne; no further teaching is needed.
Tetracycline should not be taken with laxatives, because they will absorb the medication and render it ineffective; no further teaching is necessary.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Atridox is the topical form of doxycycline; it is administered only topically in patients with periodontal disease.
The oral (PO) form of doxycycline is safe (and indicated) for the treatment of renal failure, Lyme disease, and sexually acquired proctitis.
