A client with a urinary tract infection is being discharged with a prescription for ciprofloxacin. The nurse should include which of the following discharge instructions?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ciprofloxacin should not be taken within 2 hours of antacid use because antacids can decrease the absorption of the medication. Limiting fluids and restricting activity are not appropriate instructions for a client with a urinary tract infection. Nausea is a potential side effect of ciprofloxacin, but it is not necessary to expect it.
