    Gwen Stefanie Lagrimas Valloyas
    Cefuroxime is a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat infections like pharyngitis, tonsillitis, urinary tract infections, and skin infections caused by bacteria. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, rash, and thrombophlebitis at IV sites. Nurses should assess for allergies, monitor for loose stools or rashes, and notify the prescriber of any signs of superinfection.
