{"product_id":"2940157743536","title":"25 Antibiotic Questions \u0026 Answers for nurses and the public","description":"Programming an IV pump so that 100 percent of every medication, including antibiotics is a numbers game. The 25 questions in this book force nurses to think about and calculate the amount to program into an IV pump to give the entire dose of antibiotics or other essential IV medication.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe IV pump is unlikely to be pre-programmed to clear the IV tubing of medication. Thinking nurses must program the IV pump themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRegistered Nurses will use the \"Holt Rules\" for calculating the \"volume to infuse\" to program into the IV pump which will give patients a much better chance of surviving their infection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a companion to Holt's CEU course on Intravenous Medication Mistakes. \u003cbr\u003eAntibiotic medication mistakes focusses on the individual nurse, and how he or she needs to make the cognitive leap to realize that many RNs have not been taught the fundamentals of clearing antibiotics from IV tubing. One RN at a time, we must all learn to give full doses of antibiotics.\u003cbr\u003eThe final three questions are a case study in how patients develop multi drug resistant organisms due to most RNs only giving half a dose of antibiotic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the reasons that many people have multi drug resistant organisms (MDRO) such as:\u003cbr\u003eVTE – Vancomycin resistant Enterococcus\u003cbr\u003eMRSA – Methicillin resistant staph aureus\u003cbr\u003eCRE – Carbapenim Resistant Enterobacteria\u003cbr\u003eIs because many RNs are only giving a partial dose of antibiotics. In fact, many nurses give less than half a dose of IV antibiotics.","brand":"Holt, David","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47115214389488,"sku":"2940157743536","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940157743536_p0.jpg?v=1764102708","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940157743536","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
