Behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia occur in approximately 75% of PWD admitted to acute care. Despite this, few studies provide insight into the use and prevalence of psychotropic use in acute care. A qualitative descriptive design was used to explore acute care nurses' decision-making about PRN psychotropic medication administration to PWD. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight nurses from three acute care medical units in a large tertiary hospital in Western Canada. Conventional content analysis was used to develop three themes that reflect nurses' decision-making related to administering PRNs to hospitalised PWD. COREQ guidelines were followed. Three themes of legitimising control, making the patient fit and future telling were developed. Legitimising control involved medicating undesirable behaviours to promoteisions to administer PRN medications to hospitalised older people and may inform prescribing practices. There were novel findings about the lack of assessment prior to PRN administration, and the nurses' collective response in decision-making. More research is needed to better understand the complexities of nurses' decision-making, to assist in the development of interventions for nursing practice.Enhanced intracellular survival (Eis) proteins belonging to the superfamily of the GCN5-related N-acetyltransferases play important functions in mycobacterial pathogenesis. In Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Eis enhances the intracellular survival of the bacilli in macrophages by modulating the host immune response and is capable to chemically modify and inactivate aminoglycosides. In nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), Eis shares similar functions. However, Mycobacterium abscessus, a multidrug resistant NTM, possesses two functionally distinct Eis
