selective toxicity Ans: the ability to affect certain proteins or enzyme
systems that are used by the infecting organism but not by the human
Guru01 - Stuvia
cells
spectrum Ans: the range of bacteria against which can antibiotic is
effective (broad spectrum antibiotics are effective against a wide range of
2026
bacteria, narrow-spectrum antibiotics are effective only against very
selective bacteria

antiinfective agents Ans: are drugs designed to target foreign organisms
that have invaded and infected the body of a human host
although antiinfective agents target foreign organisms infecting the body
of a human host, they do not possess total selective toxicity which is the?
Ans: ability to affect certain proteins or enzyme systems used only by
the infecting organism but not by the human cells
some people believe that the habitual use of antibiotics for what might
well be a viral infection has contributed to? Ans: the development of
resistant strains

effects of antiinfectives, the nurse should monitor? Ans: nutritional and
hydration status

extreme caution must be exercised in the use of antiinfective in pregnant
and nursing women because? Ans: they can affect the fetus and also
cross into breast milk leading to toxic effects in the neonate
antiinfectives that adversely affect the liver and kidneys must be used in
caution with __ patients, who may have decreased organ function Ans:
older
the goal of antiinfective agents is to? Ans: interfere with the normal
function of the invading organism to prevent it from reproducing and to
cause cell death without affecting host cells
Assignment Expert
antiinfectives can affect cells by? Ans: -disrupting the cell membrane

with the host the __ are on classification of antibiotic that work in this
way. Ans: PCN
some antiinfectives prevent the cells of the invading organism from
using substances essential to their growth and development leading to
