    Cefuroxime is a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections such as those in the respiratory tract, ears, skin, genitourinary area, and bones. It works by binding to bacterial cell membranes and inhibiting cell wall synthesis. Common side effects include headaches, nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Nurses should assess for allergies and impairment of hepatic or renal function prior to administration and monitor for signs of adverse reactions or lack of response during the treatment period.
