b. Allowing prescribers to develop their own prescribing guidelines

d. Increased use of antibiotics among parents of young children
C
The CDC initiative has identified three objectives to help delay the emergence of resistance to antibiotics in hospitals. One of the objectives is to increase adherence to prescribed antibiotics among users. Allowing patients to stop using antibiotics before the prescription ends is not one of the objectives and may increase the risk of resistance. Other objectives include ensuring that prescribers adhere to appropriate prescribing guidelines instead of developing their own and de-creasing antibiotic use among parents of small children.
