Q

These drugs helps prevent nosocomial pneumonia

A

Sucralfate (Carafate) - does not change the pH of the gastric content, therefore if it is aspirated, there typically are not bugs in this content to cause a pneumonia

One of the most common causes of nosocomial pneumonia is aspiration of gastric contents
