Answer to Question 1

3

Rationale 1:Quinupristindalfopr istin (Synercid) is a streptogamins and used for serious infections resistant to vancomycin.
Rationale 2: Penicillinsare considered broad-spectrum antibiotics.
Rationale 3: Flagyl is used for serious infections from anaerobic bacteria and for protozoan infections.
Rationale 4:Ciprofloxacin (Cipro) is a fluoroquinolone and used for a variety of infections but not protozoa.

Global Rationale: Flagyl is used for serious infections from anaerobic bacteria and for protozoan infections. Quinupristindalfopr istin (Synercid), penicillin, and ciprofloxacin (Cipro) are not appropriate choices for treating protozoan infections.

Rationale 1: Patients should be advised to avoid direct exposure to sunlight because tetracyclines can cause photosensitivity, which makes the skin particularly susceptible to sunburn.
Rationale 2: The client should avoid milk, but does not need to avoid wheat.
Rationale 3: There is no restriction on exercise.
Rationale 4: This medication can be taken with food.
