True or False: The following scenario is an example of antibiotic prophylaxis. Scenario: A patient is admitted to the emergency room with a dog bite. The dog’s teeth cut through the skin and caused minor bleeding. After the wound is cleaned and dressed, the ER physician administers a Tetanus booster shot (Tdap) and prescribes Augmentin (amoxicillin-clavulanate) for the patient to take at home because dog bites often lead to bacterial infections. The Tdap and Augmentin are not prescribed to treat an active infection, but to prevent infection from developing.
