A Report On The On Bp Meds

“What do you say, I’ll pay for all the costs, I really need you there with me?”

The concern on whether anti-hypertensive’s should be withheld in patients who are hypertensive has been debatable in the recent past. Generally, the treatment of hypertension among hospitalized patients is basically an opportunity to enhance the recognition and treatment of blood pressure (Axon, Nietert & Egan, 2011, p.246). This is mainly because hypertension is a basic risk factor for heart diseases, stroke, and death whose impact is widespread to nearly 70 million adults in America. There have been numerous educational initiatives and publication of treatment processes to address this condition in the past few decades. Despite these measures, nearly 39 million Americans are at risk of hypertension because they have not reached their desired or optimal blood pressure.

to unnecessarily overprescribe medications to their pediatric patients. Of these prescription drugs, opioid pain killers, antibiotics, and psychiatric medications are the most commonly overprescribed in child care. For example, opioid prescriptions have increased 300 percent in the past seventeen years (Boerner 20), over 50 million unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions are written each year (Murray 266), and 6.4 million psychiatric prescriptions are given to children between the ages of four and seventeen each year (Johnson 19). The overprescribing of these medications leads to children experiencing unnecessary side effects, increases the chances of addictions, and encourages drug resistance. In this essay, I will be proposing that there should be a (i) government enforced set of extensive regulations and checklists that each patient must fulfill before receiving a prescription and (ii) governmental laws prohibiting careless prescribing by doctors and hold doctors more accountable for the prescriptions they write.

Relying on prescription drugs to reduce high blood pressure could result in complications. Some high blood pressure medications may interact with other prescriptions and negatively impact your health. Additionally, the cost of purchasing prescription drugs are increasing each year. There is a natural way for you to reduce your high blood pressure, and it feels good

The convenience sampling that was used in recruiting all male patients who were on blood pressure medications is a glaring bias in this study. There was no information provided addressing why the patients were presenting to the clinic. There are many interventions that can raise blood pressure. For example, the study conducted by Marshall, Anantharachagan, Choudhary, Chue and Kaurhis, (2002) investigated the effect of situational anxiety on blood pressure experienced in anticipation of a blood test. Marshall, et. al., (2002) found that anticipation of a blood test can raise blood pressure. Foster-Fitzpatrick, et. al., 1999 did not address the purpose of the patient’s visit to the clinic.

It is true that certain medications can help reduce the effects of ADHD, however, stimulants, antidepressants and antihypertensive medications have many hidden psychiatric, physical, and emotional consequences that can have long term effects.

Drugs are a double-edged sword by providing therapeutic effects with the potential to be toxic when it is not used properly. Medication safety has become a concern, especially with the rise in chronic illness and the aging population leading to polypharmacy, where a patient take multiple medications, increasing risk of drug related problems (Kwan & Farrell, 2013). As a solution, the Government of Ontario introduced and funded a pharmacist led medication review program called MedsCheck. Started in 2007, patients who take over three chronic medications are eligible for an annual 30 minute one-to-one medication consultation with the pharmacist to make sure medications are taken properly and safely. This program was expanded in 2010 to include

The following medications are J.T.’s medication home regiment, Albuterol 180 micrograms (ug) MDI 2 inhalation every 6 hours as needed for dyspnea, Amlodipine, Ipratropium 36 ug MDI 2 inhalation every 6 hours, Theophylline 200mg mg by mouth twice a day and Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ). Albuterol is considered as a rescue medication for COPD and asthma, has a short acting anticoligernic mediated action, and it is a smooth muscle relaxer with bronchial dilator effect. Ipratropium is very effective for treating COPD because it reduces mucus gland secretion, and Theophylline relaxes brachial smooth muscle and has an anti-inflammatory effect (Davis’s Drug Guide for Nurses, 2014). All these medications can help J.T.s’ COPD because they either to open up the bronchial caused by COPD or related obstruction or decrease the secretion due to excess mucus production. Both the HCTZ and Amlodipine and HCTZ are treatment for J.T’s underlying hypertension which does not have adverse effects on J.T. COPD.

According to the Health Care Finance Administration (HCFA), on July 1, 1999, established a quality indicator that residents taking nine or more medications will be used to identify long-term facilities where medications potentially are overused and residents may be at increased risk for adverse drug reactions (ADR). However, this approach can be controversial because the medication is essential for older people health safety. There are many factors on the overuse of medication which can include age, health and the number health care visits. Especially on home care and long-term facilities, most of the elderly in this facilities are forced to take these medications due to facility policies (Hanlon, 2001). Another

I can perceive how extreme it is for Ms. Jackson to gather everybody for a trip. In this way, I appreciate becoming more acquainted with everybody through the best interaction we can schedule. I know the class is reaching an end soon, and so will this project. Hopefully, I hope I can remain associated with the family, similar to the kids asking me to. As my week 6 blog expressed, Brittany didn't at first trust my identity, how I discovered her, or what I required from her. Therefore, I don't want her to see me as another grown-up who uses her for an agenda, and afterward vanish. I additionally don't need her to feel like I'm another grown-up that always examines her. It doesn't mean I anticipate keeping up a relationship out of guilt. However, I will gladly recollect April as the month Brittany and Angel will celebrate their fifth and twelfth birthdays. Much the same as I shared what a canvas is, I'll feel fulfilled to realize that Brittany picked up something from my association with her too. I thought it was decent to hear her say, "Are we going to do the compass soon?" I was confused and had no clue what she was alluding to, until it

Bromocriptine has been linked to episodes of sudden sleep onset, particularly in patients with Parkinson's disease. Before starting treatment, understand that your ability to operate equipment or vehicles may impose unintended injuries. Your doctor may recommend a reduction in dosage or a termination of treatment.

Physical Examination and Laboratory Test Anthropometric measurements including height and weight were measured while the patients were lightly clothed and without shoes. Measurements were conducted using a calibrated scale, wall-mounted stadiometer, and tape measure. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated using the following formula: weight/height2(kg/m2). Blood pressure (BP) was measured in the right arm with subjects in a sitting position using a regular mercury sphygmomanometer after resting for 15 minutes. Three consecutive blood pressure readings were used to calculate amean BPvalue.

pressure varies person to person depending on a variety of personal factors. Blood pressure is an
