    Anicas, Ralph Joshua V.
    Cefazolin sodium is a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic given intravenously to treat respiratory tract infections, acute uncomplicated urinary tract infections, surgical prophylaxis, and pneumococcal pneumonia. It works by interfering with bacterial cell wall synthesis, causing the cell to rupture and die. Common adverse effects include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Nursing responsibilities include monitoring for signs of confusion, seizures, or hemiparesis if high doses are given, as well as monitoring lab results and watching for signs of superinfection or other serious reactions. The patient should be taught to report any concerning symptoms and take the medication as prescribed.
