A Clinic Nurse Is Caring for a Male Patient Diagnosed

A clinic nurse is caring for a male patient diagnosed with gonorrhea who has been prescribed ceftriaxone and doxycycline. The patient asks why he is receiving two antibiotics. What is the nurses best response?

B) The combination of these two antibiotics reduces the later risk of reinfection.
C) Many people infected with gonorrhea are infected with chlamydia as well.
D) This combination of medications will eradicate the infection twice as fast than a single antibiotic.
