Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Ciprofloxacin (Cipro, Ciloxan) is a fluoroquinolone, a broad-spectrum anti-infective used for UTI, acute sinusitis, bone infections, and anthrax exposure. Levofloxacin is another fluoroquinolone used for community-acquired pneumonia and UTI.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Interventions for respiratory alkalosis may involve the client using a rebreathing mask or breathing into a paper bag so that he or she will rebreathe his or her own CO2, thus replacing the CO2 needed by the body. Oxygen would be used for respiratory acidosis. Lactated Ringer's solution and bicarbonate may be ordered for metabolic acidosis.
