    Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic administered orally twice daily for 7-14 days. It inhibits bacterial DNA synthesis and is used to treat infections of the skin, lungs, bones and joints caused by susceptible bacteria such as E. coli. Some contraindications include sensitivity to fluoroquinolones, impaired hepatic function, pregnancy and lactation. Side effects can include seizures, tendon rupture, diarrhea and rash. Nursing responsibilities involve monitoring patients, observing for signs of crystalluria and peripheral neuropathy, and reporting any complications.
