The document discusses the drug ceftriaxone, indicating it is a cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat various infections like lower respiratory tract infections and meningitis. It works by inhibiting cell wall synthesis in bacteria. Potential side effects include pain, rash, diarrhea, and thrombocytosis, so nurses should monitor patients for signs of infection, allergic reaction, and changes in lab values during treatment.
