The nurse is providing teaching to a patient taking an oral tetracycline antibiotic. Which


statement by the nurse is correct?


a. "Avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds while on this medication."


b. "Milk and cheese products result in increased levels of tetracycline."


c. "Antacids taken with the medication help to reduce gastrointestinal distress."


d. "Take the medication until you are feeling better." - Answer✔✔-ANS: A


Drug-related photosensitivity occurs when patients take tetracyclines, and it may continue for


several days after therapy. Milk and cheese products result in decreased levels of tetracycline


when the two are taken together. Antacids also interfere with absorption and should not be


taken with tetracycline. Counsel patients to take the entire course of prescribed antibiotic


drugs, even if they feel that they are no longer ill.
