Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Fosfomycin is administered by pouring the entire contents of a single-dose packet into 90 to 120 mL of water. Fosfomycin is not injected. Hot water should not be used.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Gram-negative aerobic bacilli from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract cause most UTIs. E. coli accounts for about 80 of noninstitutionally acquired uncomplicated UTIs. Although common, P. mirabilis and K. pneumoniae are not responsible for most UTIs. P. aeruginosa is not the most common cause of UTIs.
