Question 1 of 5

The nurse is discussing treatment for a superinfection with a client and family members. The family asks the nurse what a superinfection is. What is the best response by the nurse?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. A superinfection is a secondary infection that occurs when microorganisms normally present in the body are killed by the drug, leading to the overgrowth of opportunistic pathogens. This can happen when broad-spectrum antibiotics disrupt the balance of normal flora.
Choice A is incorrect as a superinfection is not necessarily drug-resistant.
Choice B is incorrect because it does not specifically address the mechanism of a superinfection.
Choice C is incorrect as superinfections can be treatable but present challenges due to the altered microbial balance.
