Included In This Lesson
Outline
Infectious Diseases: Multidrug-Resistant Organisms (MRSA, VRE, CRE, ESBL)
Definition/Etiology:
- Bacterial infection by an organism that is hard to treat as it is not sensitive to many antibiotics
Pathophysiology:
- MRSA, VRE, CRE, ESBL in
- Blood
- Lungs
- UTI
- Wound
- Skin
- Surgical Site
Noticing: Assessment & Recognizing Cues:
- Assessment (general)
- Fever
- Chills
- S/S specific to system
- Assessment (site)
- Redness
- Painful
- Swollen
- Drainage
Interpreting: Analyzing & Planning:
- Complete Blood Culture
- WBC
- Culture fluid
- UTI – urine
- PNA -sputum
- Septicemia- Blood
- Wound -drainage
Responding: Patient Interventions & Taking Action:
- Targeted antibiotics
- Start broad spectrum (1 or 2)
- Targeted- once culture comes back
- Symptom management
- Fever
- Cough
- Pain
Reflecting: Evaluating Patient Outcomes:
- Symptom improvement
- Prevention- Handwashing!
- Avoid antibiotics if possible
- Prevent sepsis
Linchpins (Key Points):
- An infection is an infection. Be careful with antibiotics.
- Infection = general s/s infection
- System-specific= s/s specific to system affected
- Treatment= hard to treat. Be careful with antibiotics. Don’t use if not needed
