A nurse is caring for a client who has recurrent lower urinary tract infections (UTIs). Which of the following medications should the nurse expect to administer?

Choice A rationaleGanciclovir is an antiviral medication used to treat cytomegalovirus infections, not UTIs. Cytomegalovirus is a type of herpesvirus that can cause serious infections in immunocompromised individuals.Choice B rationaleAmphotericin B is an antifungal medication used for severe fungal infections, not for bacterial UTIs. It is often reserved for life-threatening mycotic infections due to its toxicity.Choice C rationaleAzithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic effective against various bacterial infections but not typically used for UTIs. It is often prescribed for respiratory infections and sexually transmitted infections.Choice D rationaleNitrofurantoin is an antibiotic specifically effective against common UTI pathogens. It is concentrated in the urine, making it particularly effective for urinary tract infections.
