Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Methenamine should not be combined with sulfisoxazole. Formaldehyde forms an insoluble complex with sulfonamides, posing a risk of urinary tract injury from crystalluria.
Ciprofloxacin would not increase the risk of crystalluria, but it may increase the risk of tendon rupture.
Nalidixic acid can be administered with methenamine without increasing the risk of crystalluria.
Erythromycin would not increase the risk of crystalluria.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
When adherence is a concern, fosfomycin, which requires only a single dose, is an attractive choice.
Cipro is ordered twice a day for 3 days.
Keflex is ordered three times a day for 7 to 14 days.
Amoxil is ordered three times a day for 14 days.
