early recognition of a residents change in condition
establishing lab protocols
properly collecting lab specimens

Explanation:

To determine nursing staff interventions for an ASP (Antimicrobial Stewardship Program), we analyze each option:

• "Early recognition of a resident’s change in condition": Nursing staff monitor patients and can detect condition changes, relevant for ASP as it may indicate infection needing antimicrobial intervention.
• "Establishing lab protocols": This is typically a role of lab or administrative/management staff, not nursing.
• "Properly collecting lab specimens": Nursing staff are responsible for specimen collection (e.g., blood, urine) for lab tests, crucial for diagnosing infections and guiding antimicrobial use.
• "Knowledge of high - risk residents": Nursing staff know which residents (e.g., immunocompromised) are at high risk for infections, helping target ASP efforts.

Answer:

A. Early recognition of a resident's change in condition
C. Properly collecting lab specimens
D. Knowledge of high - risk residents
