What might sulfisoxazole be prescribed for?
  1. Folic acid deficiency anemia
  2. Urinary tract infections
  3. Peritoneal abscess
  4. Keratitis
Explanation
Answer: B - Sulfisoxazole would be used to treat urinary tract infections. It is a sulfonamide anti-infective agent and inhibits synthesis of bacterial folic acid. It would not likely be used for peritoneal abscess-these are generally treated with combination antibiotics (e.g. gentamicin and metronidazole).
