Nurses can contribute to AMS in several key ways: 1. Education and Training: Nurses can educate patients and their families about the proper use of antibiotics, including the importance of completing prescribed courses and the ineffectiveness of antibiotics against viral infections. 2. Monitoring: Nurses can monitor patients for signs of infection and assess their response to antimicrobial treatments, ensuring that antibiotics are used only when clinically indicated. 3. Infection Control: By following strict infection control protocols, nurses can help prevent the spread of infections, thereby reducing the need for antibiotics. 4. Collaboration: Nurses should work closely with physicians, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals to ensure that antimicrobial treatments are optimized for each patient.
