A patient is receiving aminoglycoside therapy and will be receiving a beta-lactam antibiotic as well. The patient asks why two antibiotics have been ordered. What is the nurse's best response?
 
  a. The combined effect of both antibiotics is greater than each of them alone.
  b. One antibiotic is not strong enough to fight the infection.
  c. We have not yet isolated the bacteria, so the two antibiotics are given to cover a wide range of microorganisms.
  d. We can give a reduced amount of each one if we give them together.
