NURS 5334 Module 2 Collaborate transcript Lifespan/Antimicrobials

NURS 5334 Module 2 Collaborate transcript Lifespan/Antimicrobials A is do a quick review of the antibiotics and highlight a couple of other things that are important, and then we're going to go through the questions. I'm going to go through the antibiotics pretty quickly, but you will have the notes to look at. It kind of narrows down these antibiotics where you can see kind of what I want you to know about them. But I will tell you about antibiotics: if there's one thing that you can't remember other than this, is you have to match the bug with the drug. You cannot prescribe an antibiotic if you don't know what you're treating. And so in an instance where you don't know what the bug is, then you're going to start broad. And then once the culture comes back, if you can give a more narrow spectrum antibiotic, then you're going to back off.
