A client reports no improvement after 5 days of therapy with tetracycline. The nurse suspects drug resistance and knows that drug resistance can develop in which ways?


1. A drug is prevented from concentrating inside the bacterial cell.
2. A broad-spectrum antibacterial drug is used instead of a narrow-spectrum drug.
3. A bacteriostatic agent is paired with a bacteriocidal agent.
4. Bacteria acquire the ability to degrade the antibiotic.
5. The shape of the bacteria mutates and prevents an antibiotic from binding to it.
