NUR 621 (Adult_Gero Acute) MOD #3, Part 2 (ABX intro) Questions with CORRECT Answers
(Grade A+)
Question 1:
how do beta lactams work
Answer:
They inhibit cell wall synthesis (blocking the transpeptidation reaction)
Question 2:
how does beta lactam resistance work?
Answer:
enzymes cleave the beta lactam ring (what makes the ABX work), rendering them ineffective
Question 3:
again, acronym for a group of gram neg bacteria that are known for their beta lactamase
production
-also known for causes of ventilator associated
pneumonia
Answer:
"SPACE" Serratia Pseudomonas Acetobacter Citrobacter Enterobacter
Question 4:
narrow spectrum PCN, primary target gram positive streptococci and gram negative syphilis
-used for strep pharyngitis, rhematic fever prophylaxis, and treating syphilis
Answer:
Penicillin G (narrow spectrum PCN)
Question 5:
still the gold standard for syphilis?
Answer:
PCN G
Question 6:
, PCN that has gram positive coverage, and offers more gram negative coverage than PCN G
-covers gram negative organisms like E. Coli and
Hib
-widely used for community acquired infections
like otitis media, sinusitis, UTI, and bacterial meningitis
Answer:
Amoxicillin/Ampicillin (Aminopenicillins)
Question 7:
due to its safety, what is the gold standard for AOM?
Answer:
Amoxicillin
Question 8:
Amoxicillin is also used as a first line for
Answer:
outpatient CAP
Question 9:
which Aminopenicillin is specifically used for bacterial meningitis?
Answer:
Ampicillin
Question 10:
Very broad spectrum PCN, notable for pseudomonas coverage and other problematic gram
negative bacteria
-used for serve hospital infections, sepsis, empiric therapy in febrile neutropenia
Answer:
Piperacillin-Tazobactam (Antipseudomonal PCN)
Question 11:
again, Pipercillin-Tazobactam is a great option to treat
