Correct Answer is ["C","D"]

Explanation

Choice A rationale: Crushing ciprofloxacin tablets may interfere with their efficacy, and it is generally not recommended to alter the dosage form without consulting a healthcare provider.

Choice B rationale: Ciprofloxacin may cause joint aches and pains, but using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is generally not advised as they can interact with the medication and increase the risk of adverse effects.
Choice C rationale: Ciprofloxacin is associated with the risk of tendonitis and tendon rupture. Therefore, any tendon pain or swelling should be reported immediately to the healthcare provider.
Choice D rationale: Increasing fluid intake while taking ciprofloxacin can help prevent crystalluria, a potential side effect of the medication.
Choice E rationale: Ciprofloxacin can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight, leading to an increased risk of sunburn. Patients should limit exposure to sunlight and avoid tanning beds while taking this medication.

A. Serum ammonia level of 30 Mcg/dL (17.62 Mcmol /dL). B. Serum potassium level of 3.8 mEq/L (3.8 mmol/L). C. Serum glucose level of 120 mg/dL (6.7 mmol/L). D. Hemoglobin level of 13.5 g/dL (135 g/L).

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale: Serum ammonia levels are not relevant to the effectiveness of sodium polystyrene sulfonate in treating hyperkalemia.

Choice B rationale: Sodium polystyrene sulfonate is a medication used to treat hyperkalemia (high potassium levels). A serum potassium level of 3.8 mEq/L falls within the normal reference range (3.5 to 5.0 mEq/L), indicating that the medication has been effective in promoting the excretion of potassium and reducing hyperkalemia.

Choice C rationale: Serum glucose levels are not relevant to the effectiveness of sodium polystyrene sulfonate in treating hyperkalemia.

Choice D rationale: Hemoglobin levels are not relevant to the effectiveness of sodium polystyrene sulfonate in treating hyperkalemia.
