The client who was exposed to inhalation anthrax has completed 10 days of drug therapy consisting of ciprofloxacin (Cipro), 500 mg PO twice daily. He says that since he has no manifestations, he would like to stop taking the drug now. What is the nurse’s best response?
A.   “If you have no manifestations, you may stop the drug now.”
B.   “You will need to take this drug for at least one month to be sure you don’t spread the disease to others.”
C.   “You need to take this drug for at least 60 days because the organism is first encapsulated, and it may take up to 8 weeks for manifestations to appear.”
D.   “You will need to be on prophylactic antibiotic therapy for the rest of your life to keep the organism from breaking free from its capsule and multiplying.”
