Choosing Wisely

  1. Antibiotics should not be used to treat asymptomatic bacteriuria.
  2. Physicians should avoid prescribing antibiotics for upper respiratory infections since most are viral.
  3. Antibiotics should be avoided for stasis dermatitis of lower extremities. The standard of care is leg elevation plus compression.
