The recommended treatment for gonorrhea is:

doxy
azithromycin
CTX
Penicillin G benzathine IM

The correct answer is: CTX

The recommended treatment for gonorrhea is Ceftriaxone (CTX). This is because of the increasing bacterial resistance to other commonly used antibiotics. Ceftriaxone is a third-generation cephalosporin that is highly effective against gonorrhea and is given as an intramuscular injection as a single dose. Other options like doxycycline (A), azithromycin (B), and Penicillin G benzathine (D) are not the first-line treatment for gonorrhea due to either lack of effectiveness or increasing resistance.
