I looked up page 283 for instance and all I found was:

Clinical Case Study: Antibiotic Overkill (p. 283)
1. The powerful antibiotic had killed the bacterial microbiota present in the
oral mucosa and vagina. This allowed yeast to flourish, resulting in her
symptoms.
2. The yeast no longer had to compete for nutrients in the absence of the
natural bacteria. Microbial antagonism was drastically reduced.
3. She needs to be aware of opportunistic yeast infections when taking oral
antibiotics and self-medicate with over-the-counter antifungal agents.
Clinical Case Study: To Treat or Not to Treat? (p. 299)
1. Spectrum of action, efficacy (strain sensitivity to the drug), routes of administration
(ability to maintain an IV access), safety and side effects (toxicity,
allergies, tolerance for treatment), client age and physical condition,
resources to continue extensive treatment.
2. Because the risks of TB in the brain are more severe than the risks of multidrug
treatment, the doctors decided to treat the child for MDR-TB. A sixweek
culture from the infant’s bronchial secretions produced the MDR strain
of TB; therefore, the more aggressive treatment continued well over 18
months before the infection was finally cleared.
