Drug-resistant infections are one of the greatest threats to human
health, and with resistance on the rise, appropriate antimicrobial
stewardship (AMS) is more important than ever. This book, written
by nurses for nurses, provides a clear and concise approach to good
practice in this vital area. Exploring all aspects of AMS, this new
book is underpinned by a competency framework endorsed by
scientific and professional societies, including the National
Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). It explains the
practices that ensure optimal use of antibiotics for the best
clinical outcome, with both minimal toxicity to the patient and
minimal impact on subsequent antimicrobial resistance. This book,
the first applied directly to antimicrobial stewardship for nurses,
supports standards of proficiency for registered nurses, and can
therefore be used by regulators and professional bodies to inform
standards of proficiency and guidance. The book covers infection
prevention and control, antimicrobial resistance, diagnosis of
infection and appropriate antimicrobial use, patient engagement,
collaboration between professions and how to implement AMS in
nursing practice. Including learning tools such as objectives,
practical case studies and questions throughout, as well as lecture
slides, this book is an essential read for undergraduate nursing
students and specialist nurses worldwide. This book is authored by
a multi-national group of experts with representation from
professional associations, universities and national public health
agencies, such as: - Royal College of Nursing, UK - Cardiff
University, UK - University of Sao Paulo, Brazil - Public Health
England, UK - National Centre for Antimicrobial Stewardship,
Australia
