Question 1 of 5
What steps should be taken before administering a broad spectrum antibiotic?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because performing a culture and sensitivity test helps identify the specific pathogen causing the infection, allowing for targeted treatment with the most effective antibiotic. Monitoring vital signs (
A) is important but doesn't address the need for specific pathogen identification. Administering the antibiotic immediately (
C) without knowing the pathogen can lead to inappropriate treatment. Consulting with the healthcare provider (
D) is crucial, but determining the specific pathogen through testing is essential for effective antibiotic therapy.
