Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Acidic fruits and juices should be avoided while the client is being treated with amoxicillin because amoxicillin can be irritating to the stomach. Stomach irritation will be increased with the ingestion of citrus and acidic foods. Amoxicillin may also be less effective when taken with acidic fruit or juice.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Penicillin G procaine (Wycillin) has a milky appearance; therefore, the appearance should not concern the nurse.
