Covering more territory to fight resistance: considering nurses’ role in antimicrobial stewardship

Richard Edwards, Lydia N. Drumright, Martin Kiernan et al. · 1 Jan 2011

The potential contribution nurses can make to the management of antimicrobials within an in-patient setting could impact on the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and healthcare associated infections (HCAIs).
