, (SATA) A serious issue is when a bacteria C) 1,2,3,6
becomes resistant to a drug, i.e. MRSA or
VRE. Which of the following actions could Rationale:
result in a resistant bacteria? Genetic Mutations can be caused by 2,3, and 6. The key is a swift but thorough kill
of the microorganism. Meaning, use the appropriate ABX, using the correct dosage,
1) Genetic Mutation of the and for the appropriate durations. Any shortage of one of these could increase
Microorganism the resistance of the microorganism to further treatments.
2) Inadequate dose of an ABX
3) Patient not taking ABX
for entire therapy duration
4)Sparingly using Broad Spectrum
ABX when possible
5) Mainly using Narrow Spectrum
ABX
6) Not using the appropriate ABX
first
A) 1,2
B)4,5,6
C) 1,2,3,6
D) 2,3,4
E)All are causes
F) None are causes
False
(T or F) It is acceptable to save your
remaining antibiotics, if your feeling better
Rationale:
and the symptoms have diminished, and
You should always complete an ABX regiment no matter how you feel. This ensures
use them later if needed?
that the microorganism is killed. Saving the antibiotics for later use could cause a
True
resistant microorganism because the new scenario might be a different
False
microorganism that requires a different ABX.
False
(T or F) It is acceptable to take someone
else's antibiotics because they are all Rationale:
the same anyways. You should always complete an ABX regiment no matter how you feel. This ensures
True that the microorganism is killed. Saving the antibiotics for later use could cause a
False resistant microorganism because the new scenario might be a different

(T or F) It is advisable to take antibiotics for False
a viral infection.
True Rationale:
False Antibiotics are for bacteria not Viruses. Antivirals should be taken for Virus infections.
(T or F) ABX can cause organ toxicity. True
The two main organs a prudent nurse
would want to watch for this to happen to Rationale:
are the kidneys and the liver. Remember the liver metabolizes a lot of things, especially medicines, and the
True kidneys filter out these things just the same. Both meaning over time buildups can
False occur creating toxic scenarios.
