Abstract

Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are highly effective, well-tolerated, broad-spectrum antibiotics, making them desirable treatment options for infections. However, their adverse reactions as well as recent trends in antibiotic susceptibility must be considered. This article discusses the spectrum of activity and adverse reactions of FQs to guide nurses in caring for patients receiving this class of antibiotics.
