Antibiotic Prescriptions: A Case Study

After Doris was sent home with two types of medication, she should really read closely to what the bottle says. Medication A is to be taken every four hours by mouth and medication B is to be taken three times a day by mouth. Usually when some medication is three times a day, it has to be taken with food, that way it can be taken with meals. The medication that is every four hours probably will be okay taken on a empty stomach. Since these medications are liquid, the doctor will advise nothing to be ate or drank within 30 minutes of taking. Liquid medications are usually made for coating the throat/intestines. And of course, no alcohol and no operating machinery until Doris gets used to the side effects.

Summary: The article “Kids’ Drug- Resistant Bacteria Blamed on Farm Antibiotic Use” states that kid’s health is suffering from an antibiotic that is use in farm animals. Kids are infected by bacteria and treatment is difficult with the antibiotics that used in farm animals. If human get infected by this bacteria, antibiotics is not going to work while treatment because bacteria became more advance and that antibiotic is not going to work. Kids can expose to drug resistant bacteria in different way. Children can get infected by these bacteria by contact with animals which is infected by these bacteria and by eating food that is contaminated by bacteria. Most of the time people who get infected by these bacteria don’t get ill if they get ill

Specific Purpose: At the end of my speech, my audience will support alternative labeling like an “antibiotic stewardship certification,” and the ethical use of antibiotics in animal agriculture.

Well the first red flag would have been when the receptionist told her she would have the doctor call her prescription into the pharmacy in Boston and when Jill arrived the Prescription was not called in. the other red flag was when she tried to page both of her physician with no response. I would have gone straight to the Emergency Department and seen a physician there and explained my situation that if I didn’t have my medication I would have seizure which could jeopardize my wellbeing. I would do exactly what Jill did and change physician as soon as I could.

Every year a familiar scene plays out in clinic waiting rooms, chairs filled with miserable patients waiting to see their physician with complaints of a never ending cough and a constant nasal drip. More than likely, these patients will receive a prescription for antibiotics, but should they? Most acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs), do not require an antibiotic, the symptoms will resolve themselves over time without antibiotic treatment. Healthcare experts and scientists have warned the public about the dangers of overusing antibiotics, and there are thousands of studies to support that fact, but no one is listening. Patients are convinced they need to have antibiotic treatment, and somehow their time is wasted if they leave empty

This can lead to more complications such as further infection or sepsis. IV antibiotic therapy may result in phlebitis, extravasation injury, thrombosis, and bacteremia (NCBI, 2015). This is dangerous for a newborn, especially since she is just getting over an infection from her bowel perforation.

Adriamycin may cause severe and possibly life-threatening heart problems such as myocardial oxidative injury as well as the apoptosis of myocardial cells it found that Astragaloside IV can suppress these effects induced by Adriamycin(2003;Li et al.,2006). These findings showed that the mechanisms of action of Astragaloside IV against myocardial damage may be

Antimicrobial stewardship (AS) can be attained while fostering quality patient satisfaction. Interdisciplinary standards of practice exist to ensure evidence-based prescribing practices yet the pervasive use of antibiotics remains rampant globally. This is a multifaceted topic that impacts primary care prescribers, pharmacists, nurses, pharmaceutical companies, governing bodies, educational institutions, research teams, and the general population. This article will investigate how Canadian nurse practitioners (NPs) are in a prime position to influence an overdue revolution in AS, specifically for uncomplicated viral upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) of children ages two to ten in primary care.

Ichiro Yamada, in John Okada’s No-No Boy, plays a major role in defining American-ness in the novel. From the very start of the book, readers may note that the rest of society indefinitely identifies Ichiro as Japanese, due to his unique appearance compared to the white majority of America and his refusal to join the military during Japanese internment. While Ichiro was interned, the government required a Loyalty Questionnaire to be administered to all Japanese interned in the camps. Two major questions determined, in Ichiro’s eyes, either acceptance or unacceptance into American society: one being the “will to serve in the army whenever asked and swearing allegiance to the United States and forswearing allegiance to the Emperor of Japan”

Somali Women come from a country in East Africa. According to a study conducted by Carol P, Sahra N, and Joan B to view health care beliefs with Somali women, Somalia is a land that is still recovering from a civil war that ensued in 1978 and dragged out until the late 1990’s (2011, pg. 1). The country has had a difficult time trying to rebuild the infrastructure and government, leading to little to no progress. The United States provided opportunities for Somali people to come to America as refugees of war. The largest area containing refugee Somali women is the Minnesota area. Officially, there are around 25,000 Somali Immigrants in Minnesota. Unofficially around 75,000 Somali people are said to live in Minnesota, which shows the Somali

Healthcare is constantly improving way to prevent the spread of illnesses. It is important that research continue so that health professionals can improve their hygiene practices to ensure that the best practices in nursing are implemented. Each shift a nurse is in contact with multiple surfaces and equipment, however the medication cart is used routinely through almost all clinical settings and this leads to the question: does the medication cart pose a health risk? This paper will cover the multiple areas that are commonly covered when creating a research study. This paper will cover the process of creating a research proposal

A couple times a year local and national mass media put the spotlight on problems connected to antibiotic overuse. Some people consider those problems to be real and serious, and others think that the discussed topics are nothing more than new “fashionable” subjects to talk about, distracting people from “real” problems, such as climbing gas prices or war expenses. Meanwhile, antibiotic overuse continues as a common practice among US doctors and agribusinesses for the last 20 years. The practice of antibiotic overuse has put patient’s health at risk, contributed to antibiotic resistance and increased bacterial mutation to a new, stronger level; as well as it hitting the economy with new costly expenses in health care. It is time to stop

In this paper I will compare and contrast the Parthenon in Athens, Greece with the Pantheon in Rome, Italy. While The Pantheon was built later and takes much from the Greek style of architecture, it also brings its own contributions to architecture that remain with us in 2016. The Parthenon was built as a temple for the Greek Goddess Athena. It was constructed between 447-432 BC to be the focal point of the Acropolis building complex.

In America, we tend to try to make the greatest profit off of our food, and how we accomplish this is by feeding our animals, that eventually become our food, antibiotics to make them larger and meatier. According to Michael Pollen’s famous quote, “you are what, what you eat, eats,” and since our food is consuming antibiotics, we are also consuming those antibiotics that make the foods larger and meatier. So therefore, in return wouldn’t consuming these animals also make the consumer larger and meatier since we are also consuming those antibiotics indirectly?

This information could confuse the parents of the child in not thinking about an infection, therefore, not providing sufficient importance in the antibiotic regimen, causing the infection to reoccur or the organism to become resistance to the antibiotic. This website also said that the first line of treatment is Broad-spectrum antibiotic. This information is inappropriate because the first approach should be to monitor the infection to resolve without the use of antibiotic, helping the body to build immunity and also prevent too much used of antibiotic putting the child at risk of opportunist infections.
