36. An asymptomatic 62-year-old man comes for a
follow-up visit.
One month ago, he had acute cystitis treated with
ciprofloxacin. At his
initial visit, a urine culture grew Klebsiella
pneumoniae. He has a
2-year history of chronic prostatitis and has had four
episodes of
cystitis over the past year. His temperature is 36.9
C (98.4 F).
Examination, including prostate examination, shows no
abnormalities. Which of
the following is the most appropriate measure to
prevent recurrent
episodes of cystitis in this patient?
A
) Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole prophylaxis
B ) Insertion of a Foley catheter
C
) Total prostatectomy
D
) Transurethral prostatectomy
E
) No treatment is available

Mild cases of acute cystitis may disappear on their own without treatment, but since it is possible to get the risk of the infection spreading to the kidneys or complicated UTI, treatment is usually recommended.
so will go with A ) Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole prophylaxis

sorry to disagree.
patient has cystitis ( irritation of the urethral mucosa )
there is the potential of infection. ( risk )
Prophylaxis means to prevent.
When a patient goes into the OR he/she is given a preventive antibiotics
mmmmm
I will go with TMS treatment.
and by the way TMS is given to patient with AIDS to prevent them from opportunist infections Pneumocitis Carii or relapsing
