D) Evaluate the patient for a possible kidney infection ---------CORRECT ANSWER---
--------------A) Recheck the patient's urine and order a urine for culture and

with pyuria (more than 7 WBCs/mL) in a symptomatic patient

The best treatment for this patient is to order the urinalysis and urine C&S to
identify the organism causing the infection. Treatment may begin while waiting
for the culture results. However, occasionally treatment may have to be
changed after the culture/sensitivity results return, due to resistance to the
antibiotic used.
, You are following up a 65-year-old male who has been on a new prescription of

B) Order a liver function profile
C) Recommend an increase in fluid intake and rest
D) Order a urine for C&S test ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------B) Order a

enzymes, as well as cause the patient to feel weak, fatigued, and have muscle
aches. Therefore, checking the liver function profile is recommended.
