Nightingale College BSN 246 Infections Of The Urinary Tract
Sherpath Quiz 2023.
Which conditions may put a patient at risk for developing a
fungal urinary tract infection (UTI)?
Pregnancy
Pregnancy increases a patient’s risk for a bacterial, not a fungal, UTI.
AIDS diagnosis
AIDS leads to compromised immunity and can increase the risk for fungal UTI.
Renal failure
Renal failure increases the risk for fungal UTI because of impaired immunity
and prophylactic antibiotic therapy.
Yeast infection
Yeast infections are not associated with increased risk for fungal UTI.
Chronic bacterial infections
Chronic bacterial infections can lead to fungal UTI because repeated antibiotic
therapy kills normal flora, allowing fungi to overgrow.
