Guide Questions and Answers

A patient was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection. The patient has been drinking

fruit juice and has increased his intake of fluids, but has failed to take his antibiotic as

prescribed because it caused gastric upset. Three days later, the patient presents to the

clinic with fever, malaise, nausea, and vomiting. What might you suspect? -

ANSWER✔✔-Patient may now have a systemic infection




The patient is displaying generalized symptoms that indicate a systemic infection.

Symptoms of a localized infection, such as in the urinary tract, may include pain,

burning from edematous membranes, and frequency of urination. Because the patient

failed to be treated as prescribed, you might suspect that the patient's urinary tract

infection has ascended to the kidney, producing more systemic symptoms of infection.

Gastrointestinal (GI) disturbance may be an adverse effect of the antibiotic. An allergic

response would more likely be suspected if the patient developed a rash, hives,

urticaria, or difficulty breathing.

there is potential contact with blood or body fluids. It does not specifically warrant

sterile technique.
