Respuesta :

The nurse should suggest to discontinue the prescription of tetracycline for her acne clearance due to several reasons.

Tetracycline should be avoided since it may affect a baby's developing teeth. If a mother takes tetracyclines after the fourth month of pregnancy, it may result in the infant's deciduous teeth becoming discolored.

Pregnant women shouldn't use tetracyclines. If the medications are not taken by pregnant women or children under the age of eight, tooth discoloration can be avoided. Tetracycline should not be given to a patient who is pregnant.

Tetracycline allergies are not brought on by pregnancy. Tetracycline shouldn't be used, especially in pregnant women, to prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs).
