Abstract
- A lack of clinical response to empiric antimicrobials behooves the clinician to reflect further on diagnostic considerations. When prescribing antibiotics, determining the correct dose, most optimal route of administration, and considering the pharmacokinetic properties of the drug with respect to clinical and patient factors are crucial. Improving antibiotic usage is paramount. Antibiotic prescribing is a purposeful process, requiring a clinical indication, determination of the optimal drug dosage/route of administration, and consideration of clinical pharmacokinetics in a patient.
