ANS: A
These are symptoms of uncomplicated cystitis, which is a lower urinary tract infection that can be treated with a short course of antibiotics. Short-course therapy is more effective than single-dose therapy and is preferred. A complicated lower urinary tract infection would be associated with some predisposing factor, such as renal calculi, an obstruction to the flow of urine, or an indwelling catheter. Upper urinary tract infections often include severe flank pain, fever, and chills.
