A 30-year-old woman who is in the first trimester of pregnancy has presented to her primary care provider with a 4-day history o

f a reddened, itchy left eye that is crusted with purulent exudate. The clinician suspects a bacterial, rather than viral, etiology. How will the client's pregnancy affect the potential use of ciprofloxacin to treat her conjunctivitis?
Ciprofloxacin is safe to use in pregnancy and the client may use to same dose and route as a nonpregnant client. The use of ciprofloxacin is contraindicated in pregnancy. It is safe for the client to use topical ciprofloxacin but the oral route is potential teratogenic. The client will require a lower dose and longer course of ciprofloxacin than a nonpregnant, adult client.

Answer:

The correct answer would be B) The use of ciprofloxacin is contraindicated in pregnancy.

Explanation:

Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections. Although there are no human studies made on the ingest of Ciprofloxacin during pregnancy, animal reproduction studies have shown that it wouldn't be adequate to prescribe the drug to pregnant women since it's been proven that it could cause an adverse effect in animals, such as premature birth, miscarriage of the animal fetus and joint disease in immature animals. Studies concluded that Ciprofloxacin is not recommended during pregnancy because it's safety hasn't yet been demonstrated.

I hope it helps!

How are industrialization and unplanned urbanization responsible for environmental pollution?Describe. ​
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Industrialisation usually requires the use of potentially polluting technologies which can generate waste products that can pollute the air, water and soil.

It is entirely up to both governments and the individuals undertaking the industrialisation to ensure that pollution is kept to an absolute minimum, preferably non-existent. However, this can sometimes add to the cost of the products produced so is often overlooked or ignored by both government, who want greater tax revenue, and the individuals, who want a higher profit, at the expense of the environment - often until it is too late to prevent severe damage.
