A 24-year-old female has been diagnosed with a lower urinary tract infection. She is
healthy, afebrile, and has not used antibiotics in the previous 6 months. She has
drug allergies to sulfa (hives) and penicillin (angioedema). Which of the following
would be the best choice of antibiotic for the nurse practitioner to prescribe?
Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim).
Azithromycin (Zithromax).
Ceftriaxone (Rocephin).
Ciprofloxacin (Cipro).
Simple, uncomplicated lower UTIs should be treated with nitrofurantoin or
trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. Since this patient has an allergy to sulfa, Bactrim, is

an uncomplicated UTI. The best choice of the medications given is Cipro.
