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