💡 A: Contrary to common belief, you do not need to reach for Pseudomonas coverage right away. Anti-Pseudomonals are often overprescribed for DFIs.

📋 IDSA guidelines recommend against empirically covering for Pseudomonas in DFIs unless there’s a septic presentation or specific patient risk factors.
