How Can Healthcare Providers Promote Antibiotic Stewardship in Cancer Patients?
Use evidence-based guidelines for diagnosing and treating infections. Perform appropriate diagnostic tests to identify the cause of infection and tailor antibiotic therapy accordingly. Review and reassess antibiotic therapy regularly to determine if it is still needed or if adjustments are required. Educate patients and their families about the importance of antibiotic stewardship and the risks of antibiotic overuse. Implement infection control measures to prevent the spread of infections in healthcare settings.
