A Client Is Diagnosed with a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)

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?

A) Many clients have developed resistance to TMP-SMZ,so that drug isn't used as much."
B) It is obvious that the TMP-SMZ didn't clear up your infection the first time,so you are being given another medication."
C) I'm sure there is a good reason why you are being given this different medication."
D) Cipro is less expensive than the drug you took the last time."
