1. The urinalysis provides markers for identifying infection because the child is presenting with common symptoms of a urinary tract infection. Nitrate and protein markers will help with the diagnostics.
2. A CBC does not contain the nitrate and protein markers commonly seen in a child with the presenting symptoms of a urinary tract infection.
3. A BMP will not identify an infection. The child is exhibiting symptoms of a urinary tract infection.
4. A CRP will identify that there is an infection, but is not able to identify where the infection is present. The patient is exhibiting symptoms common with a urinary tract infection.

1. IM drugs are rapidly absorbed. 2. IM drugs bypass the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in increased absorption. 3. IM drugs avoid drug–drug and food–drug interactions, which can decrease absorption. 4. IM drugs have the ability to accumulate in the muscle and may remain in the body for an extended amount of time. 5. IM drugs bypass the gastrointestinal tract and are delivered to the small intestine, where most medications are rapidly absorbed.
