Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B, D, E
Feedback:
Drug administration-specific nursing diagnoses that may be made during treatment with fluoroquinolones and miscellaneous anti-infective drugs include Acute Pain, Anxiety, Risk for Impaired Comfort, Risk for Impaired Skin Integrity, Diarrhea, Risk for Impaired Urinary Elimination, and Risk for Disturbed Sensory Perception.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
The nurse should check whether culture tests are conducted before the first dose of drug is administered to the client. Ulcer tests and stool tests are not required to be conducted before administering the first dose of an anti-infective drug to the client. The nurse has to ensure that urinalysis is conducted before the administration of the drug but not specifically before the first dose of the anti-infective drug.
