Chapter 9 Antibacterial Drugs

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
the ability of a bacterium to resist the effects of antibacterials   Antibiotic resistance  
🗑
a drug that reduces the number of bacteria by killing them directly   bactericidal  
🗑
a drug that reduces the number of bacteria by preventing them form dividing and growing rather than directly killing them   bacteriostatic  
🗑
stage of drug development in which later generations are changed slightly to improve their effectiveness or means of administration   drug generation  
🗑
invasion by microorganisms that disturb the normal environment and cause harm or disease   Infection  
🗑
bacteria or other organisms that do not overgrow or cause infection, systemic disease or tissue damage   nonpathogenic organisms  
🗑
bacteria or other organisms that cause infection only when immune system is suppressed   opportunistic organisms  
🗑
bacteria or other organism that causes infection   pathogenic organisms  
🗑
a measure of how many different types of bacteria a drug can kill or prevent from growing   spectrum of efficacy  
🗑
bacteria or other organism that either can be killed by or have their reproduction reduced by an antibacterial drug   susceptible organisms  
🗑
the measure of how well bacteria can invade and spread despite a normal immune response   virulence  
🗑
also known as blood poisoning   sepsis  
🗑
disappearance of s/s of infection   intended responses of antibacterial therapy  
🗑
Diarrhea, thrush, vaginal yeast infections   Side effects of antibacterial therapy  
🗑
allergic reactions, anaphylaxis, pseudomembranous colitis   Adverse effects of antibacterial therapy  
🗑
Four types of antibacterial drugs   Cell wall synthesis, protein synthesis inhibitors, metabolism inhibitors, and DNA synthesis inhibitors  
🗑
Bactericidal, prevent bacteria from forming cell walls are intended responses for what type of antibacterial drug   Cell wall synthesis inhibitors  
🗑
with vancomycin and carbapenems nausea/vomitting, chills, red mans syndrome, reduced hearing and kidney function   side effects of cell wall synthesis inhibitors  
🗑
CNS changes and kidney damage, can also cause confusion or seizures   Adverse effects of cell wall synthesis  
🗑
cell wall inhibitors are bactericidal or bacteriostatic?   Bactericidal  
🗑
oral cepahlosporins are absorbed slow with iron supplements and antacids so give when   one hour before or four hours after the dose of antacid  
🗑
how slow should you give vancomycin   at least over 60 minutes IV  
🗑
in older adults these anitbacterial drugs can cause otoxicity, nephrotoxicity more likely   Cell wall synthesis inhibitors  
🗑
Protein synthesis inhibitors are bactericidal or bacteriostatic   They are both  
🗑
Nausea, vomiting, rash, fever, and lethargy   common side effects of Aminoglycosides  
🗑
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and photosensitivity   common side effects of Marcolides  
🗑
Nausea vomiting, diarrhea, sore tongue, and photosensitivity---More likely to promote yeast infections   Tetracyclines  
🗑
This medication is usually bacteriostatic but if given in high doses it can be bactericidal   Clyndamycin  
🗑
ototoxity, nephrotoxicity, and neuromuscular blockage   adverse effects of Aminoglycosides  
🗑
Many serious drug interactions-especially Coumadin, and Digoxin   adverse effects of Marcolides  
🗑
Increased cranial pressure, dizziness, confusion, and blurred vision   adverse effects of Tetracyclines  
🗑
reduced liver function, decreased WBC count, if infused too rapidly cardiac arrest or shock could occur   adverse effects of Clindamycin  
🗑
assess breathing baseline, lab tests, and hearing   Things you should check before giving Aminoglycides  
🗑
Other medications, and give erythromycin with eight hours of dilution   things you should check before giving Marcolides  
🗑
food (take meds 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal), antacids, dairy products decrease absorption   Things you should check before giving Tetracyclines  
🗑
take with food to decrease GI side effects and avoid sun exposure   Patient teaching for Marcolides  
🗑
avoid sun exposure and do not take with food or milk   Patient teaching for Tetracyclines  
🗑
avoid taking foods containing tyramine   Patient teaching for Linezolid  
🗑
some food contain this and it can result in high BP   Tyramine  
🗑
otoxicity and nephrotoxicity more likley---monitor output closely   Older adults taking Protein synthesis inhibitors  
🗑
type of chemical can easily turn into crystals that form kidney stones   Sulfonamides  
🗑
HA, fever, skin rash, and photosensitivity   Metabolism Inhibitors  
🗑
suppression of bone marrow cell division(monitor RBC and WBC) and Steven Johnson syndrome   adverse effects of metabolism inhibitors  
🗑
includes skin peeling, sloughing off, and blisters   Steven-Johnson syndrome  
🗑
Sulfa allergies, blood disorders, and lab tests   Things to check before giving Metabolism inhibitors  
🗑
Jaundice, bruises, blisters and offer water every four hours   things to check after administering meds  
🗑
avoid sunlight, take with full glass of water, and drink more water to prevent crystalluria   patient teaching for metabolism inhibitors  
🗑
have more intense side effects and anemia, increased risk for bleeding   older adult considerations while taking metabolism inhibitors  
🗑
inhibit production of DNA, preventing bacterial reproduction   DNA synthesis inhibitors  
🗑
these drugs can concentrate in urine and make urine painful   DNA synthesis inhibitors  
🗑
causes serious heart dsyrhythmias, neurotoxicity, changes in glucose levels   adverse effects of taking DNA inhibitors  
🗑
tendon rupture is more common   with older adults taking Fluoroquinolones  
🗑
caused by overused, overprescribed, improperly taken antibacterial drugs   Antibacterial drug resistance  
🗑
