Cephalosporins Mnemonic for Nursing Pharmacology (NCLEX)

Study this Cephalosporins mnemonic for nursing pharmacology and other NCLEX mnemonics with Pixorize.

Cephalosporins are a class of antibiotics that are used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. Cephalosporins are easy to recognize because they all start with “ceph-”, like ceftriaxone, cefazolin, and cephalexin. Cephalosporins can have a cross sensitivity with penicillins, so if a patient is allergic to one, the severity of the allergic reaction should be determined before giving the other. Patients taking cephalosporins should avoid alcohol to prevent a disulfiram-like reaction. Cephalosporins can cause bleeding so other drugs that cause bleeding should be avoided, like NSAIDs and anticoagulants.
