Final answer:

The physician is most likely to prescribe azithromycin to a client diagnosed with gonorrhea.

Step-by-step explanation:

The physician is most likely to prescribe azithromycin to a client diagnosed with gonorrhea. Azithromycin is one of the recommended drugs for treating urogenital infections caused by C. trachomatis (a common coinfection with N. gonorrhoeae) according to the CDC. It is important to treat both infections simultaneously to avoid reinfection and spread of the infection to others.
