A client has been diagnosed with a complicated urinary tract infection (C-UTI). The nurse knows that C-UTIs are often treated differently than acute uncomplicated cystitis (AUC). What is a significant difference in the treatment of these infections?
 
  1. Clients with AUC are rarely treated with antibacterials while those with C-UTIs almost always receive this therapy.
  2. Clients with AUC receive a shorter course of antibacterials than do clients with C-UTIs.
  3. Clients with AUC receive a longer course of antibacterials than do clients with C-UTIs.
  4. Clients with AUC receive more toxic antibacterials than do clients with C-UTIs.

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Both AUC and C-UTI are frequently treated with antibacterial medications.
Rationale 2: Most clients with AUC are treated with a short course of an antibacterial, while a client with a C-UTI is treated for at least 14 days.
Rationale 3: Most clients with AUC are treated with a short course of an antibacterial, while a client with a C-UTI is treated for at least 14 days.
Rationale 4: Clients with C-UTIs may receive more toxic drugs.
Global Rationale: C-UTIs may require aggressive pharmacotherapy, often involving more toxic drugs, higher doses, or prolonged therapy. Both types of infection are frequently treated with an antibacterial medication.
