A patient is receiving aminoglycoside therapy and will be receiving a beta-lactam antibiotic as ...

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?

▸ “The combined effect of both antibiotics is greater than each of them alone.”

▸ “One antibiotic is not strong enough to fight the infection.”

▸ “We have not yet isolated the bacteria, so the two antibiotics are given to cover a wide range of microorganisms.”

▸ “We can give a reduced amount of each one if we give them together.”
