Antimicrobial resistance in critical care.

Abstract:

:Patients presenting with active infections or at increased risk for infections pose a significant challenge in critical care nursing. It is important for critical care nurses to use effective antimicrobial strategies in patient management to reduce the potential development of antimicrobial resistance. They should be involved actively in promoting patient management through development of research-based nursing guidelines and protocols.
