Overview
This session provides advanced practice nurses with current evidence and guidelines on antibiotic use, diagnosis and treatment of infection, and multi-drug resistant bacteria/Health Care-acquired infections. The primary population focus is adult-gerontology in the acute care setting and the presentation will include the most recent evidence on Health Care-associated infections as well as community-acquired. We will review current evidence-based guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of serious infections, including CAUTI, CLABSI, VAP, HAP/CAP, necrotizing and severe soft tissue infections, and c. difficile infection management. Antibiotic selection, length of treatment, and principles of antibiotic stewardship will be integrated throughout the content. We will review pharmacology of various antibiotic classes and discuss newly available options for treatment.

Objectives

Explain and analyze current recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of ventilator-associated pneumonia, community- and hospital-acquired pneumonia, urinary tract infection and bloodstream infections.
Describe the prevalence of healthcare-association infections and multidrug-resistant organisms in the acute care setting and how this influences antibiotic prescribing practices.
Correctly choose appropriate antimicrobial therapy for at least three severe infections in the inpatient environment.
