The client is prescribed ciprofloxacin (Cipro) and instructed to take each dose of medication on a prescribed time schedule. The nurse recognizes that this instruction is essential because:

1. The medication can cause sleep pattern disturbances.

2. Pathogenic bacteria have extremely rapid growth and reproduction rates.

3. Superinfections may develop if a dose of the medication is missed.

4. Allergic reactions are more likely to occur if a dose is missed.
