What is Cefazolin (IV) commonly used for?

Surgical prophylaxis
COPD treatment
Epilepsy
Parkinson's disease treatment

The correct answer is: Surgical prophylaxis

Cefazolin (IV) is a commonly used antibiotic medication that is primarily used for surgical prophylaxis, meaning it is given before a surgical procedure to prevent any potential infections. While it is possible for cefazolin to be used to treat respiratory infections in those with COPD, it is not the most common or recommended treatment. This medication is also not effective in treating epilepsy or Parkinson's disease. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect.
