A microbiology technologist is working at the bench and notices that a patient from the

extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing isolate. This technologist would advise the
physician to
A Order any antibiotic that works against gram negative rods.
B draw more blood cultures because they might have been contaminated
C limit the use of antimicrobial agents that tend to induce the formation of
extended-spectrum-β- lactamases.
, D be on the lookout for diarrhea - ANSWER C limit the use of antimicrobial agents that
tend to induce the formation of extended-spectrum-β- lactamases.
To keep abreast of all infections that occur in the hospital, infection control
practitioners set up surveillance programs. These surveillance programs look at this
parameter to determine if there are more or fewer infections in a given period.

D Handwashing rates - ANSWER C Infection rates
Data generated by the laboratory is directly influenced by
A the air quality in the laboratory
