GUARANTEED PASS | REVISED EXAM
define what a healthcare associated infection is and explain the
implications should one be acquired - Correct Answer✔✔-infection
acquired during course of receiving treatment for another condition in a
health care setting. generally, health care associated infections are more
difficult to treat as microorganisms have been exposed to strong
antibiotics in the past and are resistant to many treatments
define what an antibiotic is - Correct Answer✔✔-antibiotics are drugs
that have the ability to destroy or interfere with the development of a
living organism, typically bacteria
explain the difference between an antibiotic that is bactericidal and one
that is bacteriostatic - Correct Answer✔✔-bactericidal antibiotics work
by killing the bacteria, bacteriostatic antibiotics do not actually kill the
bacteria but only inhibit growth
label the antibiotic classes as bactericidal or bacteriostatic in their
mechanism of action (3 points total) - Correct Answer✔✔-
aminoglycosides = bactericidal
cephalosporins = bactericidal
sulfonamides = bacteriostatic
label the following bacteria as gram positive or gram negative - Correct
Answer✔✔-enterococcus faecalis = gram positive
escherichia coli = gram negative
pseudomonas aeruginosa = gram negative
, 2
list 2 signs patient may be experiencing nephrotoxicity for IV
aminoglycosides - Correct Answer✔✔-decreased urine output, protein
in urine
match antibiotic with corresponding pharmacologic class (10 points
total) - Correct Answer✔✔-amoxicillin = aminopenicillin
azithromycin = macrolide
cefepime = fourth gen cephalosporin
doxycycline = tetracyclines
moxifloxacin = fluoroquinolones
amikacin = aminoglycoside
cephalexin = first gen cephalosporin
bactrim = sulfonamide
piperacillin/tazobactam = extended spectrum penicillin
ceftaroline = fifth gen cephalosporin
match bacteria with common infection associated with it (4 points total)
- Correct Answer✔✔-staphylococcus aureus = skin infection
enterococcus faecalis = UTI
pseudomonas aruginosa = meningitis
escherichia coli = diarrhea
match penicillin antibiotic with common use (4 points total) - Correct
Answer✔✔-amoxicillin = ear infections
cloxacillin = resistant staph infections
penicillin = strep throat
piperacillin/tazobatam = sepsis
penicillins and cephalosporins fall under the broader category of what
type of antibiotics? - Correct Answer✔✔-beta lactam
