    The document summarizes a drug study for a 69-year-old patient taking Amikacin (Zuelig) for serious infections caused by sensitive strains of bacteria. The drug inhibits protein synthesis in susceptible bacteria, disrupting cell membranes and causing cell death. It is administered intravenously once per day. Potential adverse reactions include ototoxicity, nephrotoxicity, apnea, and neuromuscular blockade. Nursing responsibilities include instructing the patient to report side effects, encouraging fluid intake, correcting dehydration, and monitoring for signs of superinfections.
