1. bacterial undergo random mutations; overtime, they become un-responsive to certain medications.
2. education patients about the importance of follow through antibiotics prescription; monitoring any side effects; hand hygiene; apply appropriate transmission-based precaution.
3. prevention of infection
• wash hand
• not working if persisting symptoms
• limit activity
• wear a mask
• education with pt about infection transmission: cover mouth, dispose of sputum appropriately
• avoid contact with vulnerable populations

Ensure proper hand hygiene and that surfaces are cleaned and disinfected. Proper precautions are taken to prevent the spread of bacteria such as isolating infected patients,  wearing a mask and wearing gloves.

1. Antimicrobial resistance is when bacteria, fungi and viruses evolve over time and become less susceptible to antimicrobial drugs. Makes infections harder to treat, increasing the risk of spread and severe infection.

2. Wear gloves when preparing antibiotics. Minimise spread of infection by wearing appropriate PPE and following transmission protocols for each patient. Maintain five moments of hand hygiene. Understand why your patient is being prescribed antimicrobials and be aware of lowest effective dose.

1. Antimicrobial resistance is when the body builds a tolerance to a drug and is no longer effective. The constant growth in parasites and the lack of new antibiotics being developed, also means that the drug can also no longer kill the bacteria.

2. Monitor the prescribed medicines, find the lowest dose that improves symptoms of the patient, educate themselves on what the MOA is of each drug

Did you find a simpler way to describe them?
Could you say in your own words what they are?
Did you need to go and look them up again? Do you need to rethink your explanation into your own words?

1. Can you explain what is antimicrobial resistance in your own words?
2. What is the RN's role within the multidisciplinary team in preventing it?
3. What strategies could the nurse provide Nita to help her prevent the spread of infection on the ward and at home?
