Several tools can assist nurses in monitoring resistance trends:
1. Electronic Health Records (EHRs): EHRs can track patient history and antibiotic use, providing valuable data for resistance monitoring. 2. Antibiograms: These reports provide data on the susceptibility of pathogens to various antibiotics, helping in the selection of appropriate treatments. 3. Mobile Apps and Software: Various applications and software solutions are available that can provide real-time data on resistance trends.
