Question

Which prescription is consistent with the labeled use of oral fosfomycin tromethamine?

Explanation
Oral fosfomycin tromethamine is labeled as one dissolved sachet for uncomplicated acute cystitis in adult women due to susceptible organisms; it is not indicated for pyelonephritis or perinephric abscess.

In-depth explanation

Quick answer
Match fosfomycin to uncomplicated lower urinary infection.

Why this is correct
The product is mixed with water and taken immediately as a single sachet. Fever, flank pain, or upper-tract infection requires a different evaluation and treatment plan.

Easy analogy or mental picture
A lower-tract key does not open the kidney-infection door.

Memory hook
Fosfomycin sachet: uncomplicated cystitis, not pyelonephritis.

NCLEX decision rule
Verify site, severity, susceptibility, formulation, preparation, and number of doses before administration.

Why the other choices are wrong
Dry ingestion, IV use, and repeated empiric dosing are not the labeled regimen described for this product.

Clinical scenario

Fosfomycin check
Confirm lower-tract symptoms, absence of systemic or flank findings, culture context, allergy, preparation in water, and single-dose teaching.
