Nurse engagement in antibiotic stewardship programs: a scoping review of the literature.
This scoping review described how nurses are engaged in hospital-based antibiotic stewardship programs (ASPs) and to what extent this overlaps with the CDC framework. The authors concluded that, although hospitals were engaging nurses in antibiotic stewardship programs, their selected approaches did not reflect the full breadth of opportunities identified by the CDC. They noted that more detail as to how precisely nurses were engaged would be a useful addition to the literature; more research was also needed on nurse engagement in culturing or testing and penicillin allergy evaluation.
