Answer:

Obtain specimen before antibiotics are given.

Explanation:

Antibiotics may be defined as the chemicals given to kill or restrict the growth of the bacterial infection. The antibiotics are not available for virus as they can change their DNA.

The sensitivity results can be accurate if the nurse is able to ensure the successful culture of the antibiotics. Throat culture specimen is taken from the pharyngeal area. The aseptic technique can be used by the nurse for obtaining the blood and urine specimen.

Thus, the answer is obtain specimen before antibiotics are given.
