Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Although any of the fluoroquinolones can be given on an empty stomach, it is essential that norfloxacin is given in such a manner.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
When a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug such as ibuprofen is used in conjunction with a fluoroquinolone, the patient has an increased risk for seizures. An increased risk of bleeding would occur with oral anticoagulants in conjunction with fluoroquinolone therapy. Decreased effectiveness of the fluoroquinolone would occur if it was given with antacids, iron salts, or zinc because of decreased absorption of the antibiotic. Cimetidine interferes with the elimination of the fluoroquinolone, leading to prolonged presence of the drug in the bloodstream.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water.
