Ceftriaxone is a cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat various infections like lower respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and skin infections. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. Potential side effects include pain, rash, diarrhea, and leukopenia. Nurses should assess for allergic reactions, monitor for signs of infection and superinfection, and check hematologic and renal function when administering ceftriaxone.

Works by inhibiting the mucopeptide synthesis in the bacterial cell wall. The betalactam moiety of Ceftriaxone binds to carboxypeptida ses, endopeptidase s, and transpeptidase s in the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane. These enzymes are involved in cell-wall synthesis and cell division. By binding to these enzymes, Ceftriaxone results in the formation of of defective cell walls and cell death.
