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.

Answer to Question 2

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.

Global Rationale: Patients should be advised to avoid direct exposure to sunlight because tetracyclines can cause photosensitivity, which makes the skin particularly susceptible to sunburn.
