1: not use carbapenem
2: no change in mortality risk
A study was conducted to determine the effects of using a specific type of antibiotic, carbapenems, on critically ill patients with bacterial infections. The researchers divided the patients into two groups: those who received carbapenems and those who did not. The study had two main goals: to determine whether carbapenems reduced mortality and to assess whether prolonged carbapenem use increased the likelihood of developing multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens.
Results indicated that there was no significant difference in mortality between the two groups, but patients who received carbapenems for a longer duration were more likely to have new MDR pathogens detected.
Statement: If a doctor wanted to minimize the likelihood of developing MDR pathogens, she would be more likely to X on critically ill patients with bacterial infections, which would result in Y as compared to carbapenem treatment.
Select for __1__ and for __2__ the options that complete the statement so that it most accurately reflects the information provided. Make only two selections, one in each column.

Official Solution:
1. What would the doctor do to minimize the likelihood of developing MDR pathogens?
• The study says prolonged carbapenem use increases MDR pathogens.
• To minimize this risk, the doctor would be more likely to not use carbapenem.
Correct selection for 1 → not use carbapenem
2. What would be the impact on mortality compared to carbapenem treatment?
• The study says there was no significant difference in mortality between the group that received carbapenems and the group that did not.
Correct selection for 2 → no change in mortality risk
Correct answer:
1 "not use carbapenem"
2 "no change in mortality risk"
