What purpose does this goal serve in the patient’s care and how does it aid in the prevention of antibiotic resistance?
1. The use of one antibiotic ensures that the prescribed dose will result in serum concentrations that are clinically effective. 2. The use of one antibiotic has been shown to cause less organ dysfunction. 3. The use of one antibiotic reduces mortality in patients with sepsis. 4. The use of one antibiotic limits the cost to the patient.
