Tetracyclines are broad-spectrum antibiotics used to treat rickettsial disease, such as
Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and when the use of penicillins is contraindicated.
Tetracyclines are not given to children younger than 9 years of age unless absolutely
necessary because these drugs may cause permanent yellow-gray-brown discoloration
of the teeth.

tetracyclines. The nurse determines that the teaching was successful when the client
identifies which of the following? Select all that apply.
A) Photosensitivity
B) Hypoglycemia
C) Hypotension
D) Diarrhea
E) Stomatitis
Ans: A, D, E
Feedback:
The nurse should advise the client that nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, epigastric distress,
stomatitis, sore throat, skin rashes, and photosensitivity are adverse reactions that may
occur with the administration of tetracyclines.
3. A nurse is reviewing the medical record of a client who is prescribed tetracycline. The
nurse would be alert for an increased risk of toxicity if the client is taking which of the
following? Select all that apply.

B) Phenytoin (Dilantin)

, D) Warfarin (Coumadin)
E) Carbamazepine (Tegretol)
Ans: A, D
Feedback:

disease and increase the risk of bleeding in clients who take warfarin.
4. A group of nursing students are reviewing information about aminoglycosides. The
students demonstrate understanding when they identify which of the following as an
example? Select all that apply.
A) Amikacin (Amikin)
B) Amoxicillin (Amoxil)
C) Vancomycin (Vancocin)
D) Kanamycin (Kantrex)
E) Azithromycin (Zithromax)
Ans: A, D
Feedback:
The aminoglycosides include amikacin, gentamicin, kanamycin, neomycin,
streptomycin, and tobramycin. Amoxicillin is an aminopenicillin. Vancomycin is a
miscellaneous agent that disrupts the bacterial cell wall. Azithromycin is classified as a
macrolide.
5. A nurse is preparing to administer an aminoglycoside to a client. The nurse would be
alert for the development of which of the following toxicities? Select all that apply.
A) Nephrotoxicity
B) Cardiotoxicity
C) Ototoxicity
D) Hepatotoxicity
E) Neurotoxicity
Ans: A, C, E
Feedback:
More serious adverse reactions of aminoglycosides include nephrotoxicity, ototoxicity,
and neurotoxicity. A nurse recognizing these can greatly reduce permanent damage to
the client's hearing, kidneys, and nerves. Aminoglycosides are not associated with
cardiotoxicity or hepatotoxicity.
