Enoxaparin

Warfarin is used most often for long-term prophylaxis of thrombosis. “Specific indications are (1) prevention of venous thrombosis and associated pulmonary embolism, (2) prevention of thromboembolism in patients with prosthetic heart valves, and (3) prevention of thrombosis during atrial fibrillation.”(Lehne, 2010, p. 605). Warfarin is the oral anticoagulant of choice for these indications. The drug has also been used to reduce the risk of recurrent transient ischemic attacks (TIA) and recurrent myocardial infarction (MI).(Lehne, 2010).

Before and after administration a nurse should provide a patient with information concerning medication and answer any concerns that a patient could be having regarding dosage and even special considerations (Glynda Rees Doyle, 2016).

Drug administration is a fundamental part of every day in nursing profession. No medication is completely safe and protected in this manner. Therefore, nurses need to have an intensive and broad knowledge of the medications and its method of organization in the compelling treatment of patients whose life lies in her grasp (Satoskar, Bhandarkar, 2005)

After a year in nursing school, drug administration and nursing responsibilities are firmly drilled into our heads. The 6 rights: right Medication right route, right time, right client right dosage, right documentation, and the right to refuse any medication. Before giving the medication the nurse must fully ensure that the patient knows what the medication is for and what to expect. The nurse must check the patient’s armband before administering medication, ask the patient to verify his name and date of birth, only administer meds the nurse has prepared herself, and if there is something the nurse is unsure about she should look it up or ask for help.

workshop on best practice technique for the administration of injection for the nurses results in an improvement in

In order to determine if Patient Y was having pain, I assessed her pain level using a pain scale. Once she reported a pain score of a 10 out of 10, I reviewed the pain medications that were ordered for her and chose the medication indicated for severe pain. After 30 minutes I reassessed my patient pain score and the rating changed to a 5 out of 10. During this time, I educated Patient Y on other techniques to decrease her pain. I provided Patient Y with an abdominal binder to place over her abdomen and constrict to the incision. I also told Patient Y to hold a folded blanket on her incision if she needs to cough or sneeze to decrease the pain. Finally, I educated Patient Y on breathing techniques to also decrease her pain.

Furthermore, I also understood that simply by providing handouts and telling her what the medication is not enough. I needed to ensure that patient has a full understanding of when, how and why to take medications. From my experience, I knew that in order for me to provide the education, the patient has to be ready to receive it. I also included patient’s spouse , gave them opportunities to ask questions, and I used the teach back method to ensure that the patient has a full understanding of her disease and medication regimen. This situation is an example of teaching-coaching function domain of nursing

Prior to this workshop I knew that people could learn in the visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning methods but these classes showed me new ways to employ these styles of learning.

This medication is injected under the skin or into a muscle which is usually done by a professional health care provider in a private clinic or hospital. However, when

NURSING CONSIDERATION: oral drugs to be taken before meals. Avoid taking the drug with acidic fruit juices because they may accelerate drug decomposition. Discourage keeping any antibacterial agents and self-medicating if symptoms recur. Patient to be advised to seek medical support when any of the adverse effect occurs. Ensure patient understands when to take oral preparation in relation to food.

As the proportions of the aging U.S. population increases, more people are susceptible to venous thromboembolism (VTE) that often contribute to prolonged hospitalization, health complications, disability, poor quality of life, and premature death. This increase in VTE-related deaths and health complications has threatened the health and the economy of the U.S. society. Health care professionals need to make a better decision in preventing VTE, especially with the rise of new oral anticoagulants. Therefore, this integrative review discusses the effectiveness of Rivaroxaban, a new oral anticoagulant, versus Enoxaparin, a standard therapy, in preventing the occurrence of VTE thus reducing the nation’s

Adverse effects: Spontaneous bleeding, easily bruising, pain, redness, irritation at the site of injection, itching of the feet.

The pharmacist review the bags of medication and the actual prescribe medication total 12 tablets. The pharmacist recommends a list of inexpensive medication. Social worker assists with medication program cost and home health to follow in home visit. Upon discharge, the appropriate medications are prescribed and pharmacy returns to explain each medication. The ethical and legal standards of an ideal profession is holding truth to doing well. In the best interest of patient care, collaboration should be continuous between the stakeholders to prevent the patient from harm and the very system that is believed to assist with their genuine healthcare needs. The provision three of the ANA, the nurse promotes, advocates for, and strives to protect the health, safety, and rights of the patient (family, group or community)” (ANA,

Enoxaparin is a parenteral low molecular weight heparin used in the treatment of venous thromboembolisms. (Hirsch et al, 2001) Its mode of action is to increase the rate of antithrombin (ATlll) a ‘suicide substrate’ for proteases. Inhibition is brought about as protease cleaves select Arg-Ser peptide bonds in the centre becoming fixed in a stable 1:1 complex. This in-turn renders (Factor Xa) ‘which sits at the junction of the extrinsic and intrinsic pathways’ inactive. This further disrupts the cascade cycle as Xa can no longer separate prothrombin into the desired thrombin needed for fibrogen formation.

Module 3 Assignment. PGCEi participant Just as there are multiple intelligences, there are several styles of learning. There are visual learners who prefer to learn by observation. Auditory learners who prefer to learn through listening and kinesthetic learners who prefer to learn through moving, doing and touching. A good teacher should try and incorporate all
