A college-age woman has been taking oral contraceptives for the past year. She visits the student health center with a strep throat and is placed on ampicillin. What instruction should the nurse provide to the patient?
 
  a. Double the dose of ampicillin, because the pill can reduce the blood level of the antibiotic.
  b. Use a back-up method of birth control for this cycle, because the antibiotic can reduce the effectiveness of the pill.
  c. Stop the birth control pill, because using the two medications simultaneously can cause an allergic reaction.
  d. Use a vaginal lubricant while taking the antibiotic, because the interaction of the two drugs increases dryness.
