Implementing Pharmaceutical Modalities Into My Clinic

As it is mentioned earlier, medication administration includes various steps and an interdisciplinary team. Undoubtedly, nurses play a vital role in the medication administration process. Since patient safety is the priority to all health care professionals, it is important for the nurses to effectively communicate and collaborate with an interdisciplinary team if he or she is unsure about any medication prescription to prevent any adverse events. In addition, patient education is another component of safe administration. A patient must be educated on medications they are taking, the reason for taking them, the dosage, a route, potential side effects, and interactions. Nurses should perform “six rights” of the medication each time. Before administering

Because many of the treatments of alternative medicine do not adhere to the principles of conventional medicine, whether or not to allow practice of these techniques in the United States is a major concern of the medical community today. The Food and Drug Administration is the decision making body of issues such as this and more often than not, does not approve many of these practices. Due to the fact that holistic medicine sometimes contradicts the fundamentals of biomedicine, health care regulation boards such as the FDA find it difficult to accept many of these treatments. Because the Western world is so unfamiliar with these techniques it is only natural for medical community to often disprove these methods. However, as more and more doctors discover the limitations of

This is important for easy administration in case of an emergency so as to prevent any harm on a patient.

In Policy and Medicine’s blog, a response to an article posted in The Atlantic, Thomas Sullivan recounts whether modern medicine is on the decline verses alternative medicine becoming a more popular choice despite evidence that points to the contrary. By addressing the article in The Atlantic entitled The Triumph of New-Age Medicine by David H. Freeman, Sullivan’s thesis not only questions whether contemporary medicine is falling short in providing care but, loudly exclaims the opposite is true. Staying in tune with the pace of the article the main point is brought out early in the paper through data and statistics. Sullivan wastes no time in taking an implied view against alternative medicine. Implied because Sullivan does not overtly state opposition to alternative medicine, but by tone and supporting evidence it is clear he believes modern medicine has been given a bad rapport. In this rhetorical

Medications will be dispensed only when medically necessary (as determined by the administration staff ) and may include but are not limited to nebulizer EPL pens and inhalers. We do not dispense fever reducers pain relievers, cough suppressants antibiotics ear or eye drops or other medications which aid temporary conditions.

From a young age, I wanted to be a conventional physician, but as I grew older, I became more disillusioned with our current medical system. As I became more disillusioned, I was more drawn to the naturopathic field and the opportunities it presented to treat problems naturally. In addition, I felt that the naturopathic field offered more personalized care to the patient as they struggled with their different health problems. The way that conventional medicine practices tries to treat as many patients as possible in the shortest amount of time. The field seems not to respect the patient as a person, and I feel like every person should experience a favorable level of respect when interacting with medical professionals. In addition, I feel that patients should know that their doctor cares for them and their health, and that is difficult to convey in a 15-minute appointment, especially when compared with a 45-minute appointment. As a Naturopathic Physician, I feel that I will be able to provide my patients with the care that they deserve.

The ability to become reflective in practice has become a necessary skill for health professionals. This is to ensure that health professionals are continuing with their daily learning and improving their practice. Reflective practice plays a big part in healthcare today and is becoming increasingly noticed.

Self-management has become a concept adopted by the Department of Health (DH) to enable people with chronic health conditions to become the controlling entity over their illness therefore promoting independence and psychological well being. Initiatives that recommend this practice are National Service Framework for chronic disease management and self-care (DH 2002) and National Service Framework for Long-Term Conditions (DH 2005). Part of the framework plan is to implement a strategy to enable people to self-administer their own medication. This includes self-medicating in the community and in acute hospitals.

Rebecca was threatening to hurt herself and also get loud to wake other clients if she was not given the phone to call her guardians.

Rebecca refused to take the medication willingly so she was on physical hold for medication administration. CRU policy and procedures were followed to ensure clients' and staff safety.

There are several reasons why I have decided to pursue a career in Naturopathic medicine. First and foremost I want to help people. Septic arthritis in my hip at the age 9 months has led to a lifetime of being constantly involved in many disciplines of the healthcare system. And while medical doctors and surgeons have provided me with the ability to walk and lead a normal life, it was naturopathic and chiropractic doctors that really helped me overcome my overall health concerns. I owe a lot to naturopathic medicine and ultimately wish to become a naturopathic doctor so that I can help other people in ways that I was helped myself. I know that my passion lies within medicine, but the ‘10 minute appointment followed by a prescription’ kind of healthcare does not appeal to me.

Our society has become more accustomed to a synthetic lifestyle. Because we are losing more and more nature, more and more is becoming unnatural. By this, I mean today in our world things are not as natural as they once were on planet Earth. Our health care has even become synthetic, using pharmaceuticals to treat patient’s ailments. Health is our natural state of being, and because now less is natural on Earth, less people are emitting health. Naturopathic Medicine is a type of medical practice where practitioners use organic substances to treat patients. With Naturopathic medicine, the doctor gives care to the patient’s entire being, including the mind, body, and spirit. Doctors look to the root cause of the disease to see where the physical ailment stems from.

The converse line of attack is likewise conceivable and more common. Many individuals have officially utilized numerous conventional medicines without acceptable results and are currently looking for homeopathic medicine to treat their conditions. As individuals turn out to be progressively acquainted with homeopathy, it is likely that they will utilize these normal and more secure medications before the more unsafe medications offered by conventional doctors. The key to making either homeopathic or conventional medicines work is to consult professionals that are well trained in their field and to give the medications sensible time to

Each day doctors all over the globe prescribe people through the use of conventional medicine. Little do many of these people know that conventional medicine does not actually heal the body, but instead only treats the symptoms at the time. The alternative to this problem is naturopathic medicine. Naturopathic medicine is a better alternative because it focuses primarily on proactive measures, treats the condition and not just the symptoms, and targets the whole body. In Dr. Axe’s Conventional Medicine is the Leading Cause to Death, researchers state that “Americas leading cause to death isn’t heart disease or cancer:

The study of Naturopathy has been a slow but steadily increasing interest to myself over the last couple of years, as I stated in an earlier section of this Dissertation, that it, Natural therapy, was introduced into my life, as opposed to myself ‘going out there looking for it’. In the past number of years, early 1990s to present, Natural, Healthy foods, etc. have become strongly mainstream and millions of people worldwide can have the opportunity to have a ‘taste’ of this world of Natural Health, here in the Western World, as well as, even in poorer, Third-World countries where there are Natural resources already prevalent and due to the hotter climates and warmer temperatures abundance in Fruits and Vegetables is everyday
