Antibiotics: choosing & using them safely

About this quiz

What you’ll practice

Choosing an appropriate antibiotic for common infections, then checking safety details like allergies, renal dosing, pregnancy considerations, and major interactions.

Common pitfalls to avoid

Treating viral illnesses with antibiotics or choosing them “just in case”
Ignoring allergy history details (true anaphylaxis vs intolerance) and cross-reactivity nuances
Missing renal/hepatic dose adjustments and duration recommendations
Overlooking key interactions (e.g., QT risk, anticoagulants) and contraindications
Failing to de-escalate after cultures or using overly broad coverage too long

How to get the most from this quiz

After each miss, pause to identify whether the error was about indication, spectrum, dosing, or safety—then aim to correct that category on the next set.

If you’re revising for exams, start with fewer questions at easier settings to build accuracy, then increase length and difficulty to simulate real decision-making.
