Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cephalosporins have been associated with causing hypoprothrombinemia, a condition where there is a deficiency of clotting factors resulting in increased risk of bleeding. Therefore, clients with a bleeding tendency should use cephalosporins with caution. Penicillins, aminoglycosides, and macrolides have not been consistently associated with causing hypoprothrombinemia.
