Hematuria

Hematuria ( 30 Questions)

A nurse is caring for a client with hematuria and a suspected urinary tract infection (UTI). What type of antibiotics should the nurse expect the healthcare provider to prescribe to treat the UTI and associated hematuria?


Correct Answer: B

A) Incorrect. Antifungal antibiotics are used to treat fungal infections and are not typically prescribed for UTIs.

B) Correct. Broad-spectrum antibiotics are prescribed for UTIs when the specific bacteria causing the infection are not known, and they can help resolve hematuria associated with the infection.

C) Incorrect. Antiviral antibiotics are used to treat viral infections, not bacterial UTIs.

D) Incorrect. Narrow-spectrum antibiotics target specific types of bacteria and may not be as effective in treating a wide range of UTI-causing bacteria.
