1. Factors that place a patient at risk of developing an antimicrobial-resistant organism
include:
1. Age over 50 years
2. School attendance 3. Travel within the U.S.
4. Inappropriate use of antimicrobials
M
2. Infants and young children are at higher risk of developing antibiotic-resistant
infections due to:
ED
1. Developmental differences in pharmacokinetics of the antibiotics in children
2. The fact that children this age are more likely to be in daycare
and exposed to pathogens from other children
ST
3. Parents of young children insisting on preventive antibiotics so they
don’t miss work when their child is sick
4. Immunosuppression from the multiple vaccines they receive in the first 2 years of
U
life
D
3. Providers should use an antibiogram when prescribing. An antibiogram is:
1. The other name for the Centers for Disease Control guidelines for prescribing
Y
antibiotics
2. An algorithm used for prescribing antibiotics for certain infections
3. The reference also known as the Pink Book, published by the Centers for Disease
Control
4. A chart of the local resistance patterns to antibiotics developed by laboratories
4. There is often cross-sensitivity and cross-resistance between penicillins and
cephalosporins because:
1. Renal excretion is similar in both classes of drugs.

2. When these drug classes are metabolized in the liver they both
produce resistant enzymes.
3. Both drug classes contain a beta-lactam ring that is vulnerable to
beta-lactamase- producing organisms.
4. There is not an issue with cross-resistance between the penicillins and
cephalosporins.

5. Jonathan has been diagnosed with strep throat and needs a prescription for
an antibiotic. He says the last time he had penicillin he developed a red, blotchy
rash. An appropriate antibiotic to prescribe would be:
1. Penicillin VK, because his rash does not sound like a serious rash
ST
2. Amoxicillin
3. Cefadroxil (Duricef)
U
4. Azithromycin
6. Sarah is a 25-year-old female who is 8 weeks pregnant and has a urinary
D
tract infection. What would be the appropriate antibiotic to prescribe for
Y
her?
1. Ciprofloxacin (Cipro)
2. Amoxicillin (Trimox)
3. Doxycycline
4. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Septra)

7. Pong-tai is a 12-month-old child who is being treated with amoxicillin for acute
otitis media. His parents call the clinic and say he has developed diarrhea. The
ED
appropriate action would be to:
1. Advise the parents that some diarrhea is normal with amoxicillin and
recommend probiotics daily.
2. Change the antibiotic to one that is less of a gastrointestinal irritant.
ST
3. Order stool cultures for suspected viral pathogens not treated by the amoxicillin.
4. Recommend increased fluids and fiber in his diet.

8. Lauren is a 13-year-old child who comes to clinic with a 4-day history of cough,
low-grade fever, and rhinorrhea. When she blows her nose or coughs the mucous

is greenish-yellow. The appropriate antibiotic to prescribe would be:
Y
1. Amoxicillin
2. Amoxicillin/clavulanate
3. TMP/SMZ (Septra)
4. None
9. Joanna had a small ventricle septal defect (VSD) repaired when she was 3 years old
and has no residual cardiac problems. She is now 28 and is requesting prophylactic
antibiotics for an upcoming dental visit. The appropriate antibiotic to prescribe
according to current American College of Cardiology and American Heart
Association guidelines is:
