Persistent suppression of bacterial growth after antibiotic concentration has fallen below the specified MIC is known as
post antibiotic effect
Antibiotic which may prolong the neuromuscular blocking effects of rocuronium
levofloxacin
When this agent is combined with ampicillin, it extends the spectrum of activity to be active against more gram negative and anaerobic bacteria
sulbactam
The mechanism of action of cefotetan is
inhibition of crosslinking of peptidoglycan to inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis
Prolonged QT on ECG and cardiac arrhythmia is a possible risk with
quinolones
antibiotic to avoid in a pregnant patient
doxycycline
Agent that may be used for decolonization of patients who are nasal carriers of MRSA and MSSA
mupirocin
vancomycin is associated with all of the following adverse effects except
bleeding
Select the antiemetic agent that is associated with dry mouth, blurry vision, and may cause cognitive impairment in elderly patients:
scopalamine
An agent that may be useful for late or delayed nausea and vomiting:
palonosetron
Dexamethasone IV injection has been associated with:
perineal burning sensation
A patient treated with droperidol in the PACU develops an acute and painful cervical dystonic reaction. Select appropriate therapy to relive the dystonia
diphenhydramine or glycopyrrolate
Are beta lactams bactericidal or bacteriostatic?
bactericidal
beta lactams MOA
Inhibition of cell wall synthesis: Interference with peptidoglycan crosslinking
penicillins spectrum
G+, G-, anaerobes (broad spectrum)
Penicillins: Adverse Effects
hypersensitivity reaction, seizure
difference between cephalosporins and penicillins
more stable against bacterial beta lactamase

2nd gen cephalosporin coverage
gram positive, more gram negative
3rd gen cephalosporin
Ceftriaxone
3rd gen cephalosporin coverage
decreasing gram positive, increasing gram negative
