1. Present a fictional patient with the assigned medical condition to address all of the following:

· Describe the most commonly prescribed drugs for the assigned condition “Complicated UTIs”.

· Provide evidence by sharing clinical guidelines, research articles, or other scholarly materials to support your findings.

· Identify barriers to practice or issues related to the condition and the use of pharmacologic treatment, including potential issues related to cultural diversity and healthcare literacy
