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]]> 2023-03-14 22:32:19 UTC https://padlet.com/stephanieandrews/leq58a1ngrjxju3n/wish/2516803723 lbrugescannon https://padlet.com/stephanieandrews/leq58a1ngrjxju3n/wish/2516803872 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. ]]> 2023-03-14 22:32:37 UTC https://padlet.com/stephanieandrews/leq58a1ngrjxju3n/wish/2516803872 https://padlet.com/stephanieandrews/leq58a1ngrjxju3n/wish/2516804044 Ensure proper hand hygiene and that surfaces are cleaned and disinfected.

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 ]]> 2023-03-14 22:37:43 UTC https://padlet.com/stephanieandrews/leq58a1ngrjxju3n/wish/2516807044
