NURS 5334-PHARM: Antimicrobials part 1/
Module 2 UTA 35 CORRECTLY ANSWERED
QUESTIONS LATEST UPDATE
1). Drug resistant bacteria (seven listed)
Ans: -E.faecium
-Staph aureus
-Enterbacter,
-Klebsiella
-Pseudo aeruginosa
-Acine baumannii
-C. diff
2). Four basic actions of bacterial drug resistance
Ans: •Decrease the concentration of a drug at its site of action
•Inactivate a drug
•Alter the structure of
drug target molecules
•Produce a drug antagonist
3). Spontaneous mutation
Ans: •Random changes in a microbe's DNA
•Resistance to one drug
4). Conjugation in bacteria
Ans: •Extrachromosomal DNA is transferred from one bacterium to another
•Gram-negative bacteria
•Multiple drug resistance

, 5). Nosocomial infections
Ans: •Health care-associated infections (HAI)
6). Superinfection
Ans: •New infection that appears during the course of treatment for a primary infection
•Because superinfections are caused by drug-resistant microbes, they often are difficult to
treat
7). Public health action plan to combat antimicrobial resistance
Ans: •Focus Area I: Surveillance
•Focus Area II: Prevention and Control
•Focus Area III: Research
•Focus Area IV: Product Development
8). Penicillin moa
Ans: •Weaken the cell wall, causing bacteria to take up excessive water and rupture
•Active only against bacteria undergoing growth and division
•Bactericidal
-beta-lactam family
*Give macrolides when pt is allergic to PCN
9). Three factors to bacterial resistance to pcns
Ans: •Inability of penicillins to reach their targets
•Inactivation of penicillins by bacterial enzymes
•Production of penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) that have a low affinity for penicillins
