4B A nurse is completing a telehealth communication with a patient who came to urgent care two days ago for UTI symptoms. The patient was prescribed TMP-sulfa (Bactrim) for their UTI while the urine culture was pending. Today, the urine culture has resulted and it shows that the bacteria are not susceptible to TMP-sulfa. The nurse forwarded the results to the provider who responded and instructed the nurse to change the antibiotic to Levofloxacin (an antibiotic the bacteria is susceptible to). As the nurse was about to change the prescription, they noticed yesterday that the patient presented to a different urgent care for strep throat symptoms and was prescribed the antibiotic amoxicillin. Which of the following actions by the nurse is most appropriate and demonstrates critical thinking?
