Antibiotic overuse is another issue that is of concern in our health care system. Improper outpatient use leads to an increase in antibiotic resistance. Reasons for overuse are things like: the patient expects to get an antibiotic when they visit a provider; patient satisfaction scores, diagnostic uncertainty, and of course, time pressures on the providers. So, an antibiotic is prescribed “just in case.”
For this week’s discussion, find one peer reviewed journal article discussing antibiotic overuse in the healthcare system. Address all questions below in your initial response. You still must meet the minimum number of required references per the discussion rubric.
