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.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
