AB  - Unit nurses provide care to patients with serious health conditions. Often 
      antibiotics are recommended to fight infections. Sometimes patients are on proton 
      pump inhibitors (PPI). Antibiotics and PPIs may lead to diarrhea, causing the 
      patient more discomfort, and possibly leading to a more serious infection. One 
      serious infection is caused by Clostridium difficile, which causes death in some 
      cases. About 75% of patients on antibiotics may not need antibiotics. Several 
      studies showed less diarrhea in patients on probiotics. However, probiotics cause 
      harm to some patients, which needs to be considered. Nurses need to ensure that 
      antibiotic stewardship is followed.
