Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Rifampin, an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, can cause a reddish-orange discoloration of body fluids, including urine. This color change is due to the presence of rifampin metabolites, which are eliminated through the urine. The discoloration is a harmless side effect and is considered normal while taking the medication. It causes decreased effectiveness of oral contraceptives

A- Rifampin is an enzyme inducer that increases the rate of metabolism of oral contraceptive pills.

This leads to subtherapeutic levels that increases the risk of pregnancy.

B- The prescription may vary

C- Rifampin causes staining of contact lens and should, therefore, be avoided

A. Ask another nurse to check the medication dosage prior to administration. B. Verify a written order with the medication administration record. C. Use two client identifiers prior to administering the medication. D. Document the full name of the prescribed medication after administration.
