The correct answer is letter A. Congratulations to those who answered the letter A! Rationale: Cephalosporins often are used for elective clean or clean-contaminated surgical procedures. For these procedures, the antibiotics are usually administered by the perioperative nurse or anesthesia professional as a single dose during the immediate preoperative period. Reference: Seifert, P.
