    The nurse is caring for a client receiving ciprofloxacin for treatment of a urinary tract infection (UTI). The nurse will include which black box warning (BBW) in the discharge education?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Thromboembolic events: This is not a black box warning for ciprofloxacin. B. This drug has a black box warning for causing tendon rupture: Ciprofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone, has a black box warning for the risk of tendonitis and tendon rupture, especially in older adults or those on corticosteroids. C. Endometrial cancers: Ciprofloxacin is not associated with cancer. D. Breast cancer: There is no link between ciprofloxacin and breast cancer.
