Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Fosfomycin is the first antibiotic to be approved for administration in a single treatment dose for the treatment of UTIs. Fosfomycin is used to treat females with uncomplicated acute cystitis caused by susceptible strains of Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis. Fosfomycin is not used in the treatment of kidney infections.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Urinary antimicrobial agents have an antiseptic effect on the urine and the urinary tract. Pyridium reduces pain associated with bladder spasms related to urinary tract infection (UTI). Antimicrobial agents do not enhance output or eliminate urinary retention.
