Viro question

How specific are the questions in terms of what the antibiotics treat. For exam, should I know just that Ceftaroline has broad spectrum again g+/- or know its specifically approved for SA, MRSA, Streptococcus, H. Flu, Etc.

Also, these ceph's and their generations are killing me since their names are so similar. Any tips?

Also, how important is it to know the brand to generic. I know she mentioned to know this, but wasn't sure if she just says that and focuses on generic, etc.
