Abstract
The increase in resistance to antimicrobial agents (microorganisms) is one of the most critical public health problems over the years. The responsibility of all health care workers in health care facilities is to prevent and decelerate the development of resistance of microorganisms. Nurses plan, practice, and observe therapy, and they can have countless contributions through isolation procedures, which is a crucial factor in controlling the spread of resistant microorganisms. The aim of this review is to summarize the implementation of nurses as part of antimicrobial stewardship programs, to discuss about some challenges that can occur during these implementations, and to present some solutions to nurses to overcome these challenges.
