Clinical Medical Assistant Exam Practice Question

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Antibiotic treatment for a urinary tract infection targets the bacteria causing the infection, leading to a decreased presence of bacteria and leukocytes in the urine, which is reflected in urinalysis findings.

Option A, increased specific gravity, is unlikely as antibiotics do not impact urine concentration directly.

Option B, increased red blood cells, is typically associated with infection or injury, not treatment.

Option D, increased presence of glucose, is not a direct effect of antibiotics; glucose may appear in urine due to diabetes or other conditions, not antibiotic use.
