Question 1 of 5
A nurse manager is providing an educational program on antibiotic sensitivity to bacterial infections. The nurse should include in the teaching that metronidazole is Indicated for which of the following infections?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Trichomoniasis vaginalis. Metronidazole is an antibiotic that is specifically indicated for the treatment of Trichomoniasis vaginalis, a parasitic infection caused by the protozoa Trichomonas vaginalis. Metronidazole works by disrupting the DNA and cellular proteins of the parasite, leading to its death. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, klebsiella, and Candida are bacterial infections, not parasitic infections like Trichomoniasis vaginalis.
Therefore, metronidazole would not be effective in treating these bacterial infections. It is important for the nurse manager to emphasize the specific indication of metronidazole for Trichomoniasis vaginalis during the educational program to ensure appropriate treatment and avoid misuse of the antibiotic.
