A client is diagnosed with a urinary tract infection (UTI). The health care practitioner elects to treat the client with ciprofloxacin (Cipro)
The client asks the nurse why she isn't receiving trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ), the drug she was given 8 months ago for a UTI. What would be the most accurate response? 1. "Many clients have developed resistance to TMP-SMZ, so that drug isn't used as much." 2. "It is obvious that the TMP-SMZ didn't clear up your infection the first time, so you are being given another medication." 3. "I'm sure there is a good reason why you are being given this different medication." 4. "Cipro is less expensive than the drug you took the last time."
