What is the Role of Nurses in Antimicrobial Stewardship?
Nurses are integral to Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs (ASPs), which aim to optimize the use of antimicrobials to combat resistance. Their roles include:
Administering antimicrobials according to protocols. Monitoring patient outcomes and side effects. Educating patients and families about the importance of adhering to prescribed treatments. Participating in infection control measures to prevent the spread of resistant organisms.
