The healthcare provider prescribes the antibiotic tetracycline HCl for an adult client that arrived at an outpatient clinic. Which instruction should the nurse include in the teaching plan for this client?

Choice A reason: Hypertension is not a typical sign of an allergic reaction to piperacillin-tazobactam, which is an antibiotic. It may be caused by other factors, such as pain, anxiety, or renal impairment. The nurse should monitor the client's blood pressure and report any abnormal findings.

Choice B reason: Bradycardia is not a common or serious side effect of piperacillin-tazobactam. It may be related to other medications, such as beta-blockers, or underlying cardiac conditions. The nurse should check the client's pulse and rhythm and report any changes.

Choice C reason: Pupillary constriction is not associated with piperacillin-tazobactam or an allergic reaction. It may be caused by other drugs, such as opioids, or neurological disorders. The nurse should assess the client's level of consciousness and pupillary response.

Choice D reason: Scratchy throat is a possible sign of anaphylaxis, which is a severe and potentially fatal allergic reaction to piperacillin-tazobactam or any other drug. Other symptoms may include hives, swelling, wheezing, or hypotension. The nurse should stop the infusion immediately and call for help.

Choice A reason: Breast feeding is not recommended while taking this medication, as isotretinoin can pass into breast milk and harm

the nursing infant. However, this information is not as important as choice d, as the client may not be breast feeding or planning to breast feed.

Choice B reason: Baseline liver function results must be obtained during therapy, as isotretinoin can cause liver damage and increase liver enzymes. However, this information is not as important as choice d, as the client may not have liver problems or need liver function tests.

Choice C reason: Do not take multiple vitamins that contain vitamin A while taking this drug, as isotretinoin is a derivative of vitamin A and can cause vitamin A toxicity if taken in excess. However, this information is not as important as choice d, as the client may not take multiple vitamins or have vitamin A toxicity.

Choice D reason: Discontinue this medication one month before attempting to conceive, as isotretinoin can cause severe birth defects and miscarriages if taken during pregnancy. Therefore, this information is most important for the nurse to provide this client, as the client is planning to become pregnant and should avoid isotretinoin exposure.
