Question 1

What should the nurse do when administering antibiotics to a patient with sepsis?
◦ Antibiotics should always be administered after blood cultures are obtained.
◦ Wait for the results of liver and renal function tests before beginning antibiotic therapy.
◦ Administer the antibiotic with the shortest administration time first so that all antibiotics are administered quickly.
◦ Antibiotics should be administered as soon as the patient has received a fluid bolus.

Question 2

The goal of antibiotic therapy in a patient with sepsis is to narrow the therapy to one narrow-spectrum antibiotic. What purpose does this goal serve in the patient's care to aid in the prevention of antibiotic resistance?
◦ The use of one antibiotic ensures that the prescribed dose will result in serum concentrations that are clinically effective.
◦ The use of one antibiotic has been shown to cause less organ dysfunction.
◦ The use of one antibiotic limits the cost to the patient.
◦ The use of one antibiotic reduces mortality in patients with sepsis.
