ANS: B
Milk can reduce the absorption of ciprofloxacin, therefore the drug should not be taken with milk; this statement indicates a need for further teaching.
There are no contraindications to taking vitamins and orange juice (except iron); no further teaching is needed.
Taking antacids 2 hours prior to the medication should not affect absorption; no further teaching is needed.
