would start by first assessing the patients cognitive level. This will allow me to determine if the patient is able alert and orientated and able to answer appropriately. I would then focus on the patient’s cough. I would ask how long the patient has had the cough, what makes it better or worse, are there any triggers, ect. I would also ask about allergies (seasonal, dust, pollen, medications, and food). If their cough is affecting their daily life, and if they have taken any home medications for the cough. I would finish by asking about the patient’s immunization and vaccination record. List three priority interview questions you would ask the patient at this time. 1. When did the cough start? 2. Have you taken any medications for the cough,
The purpose of the following health history interview is to obtain a complete picture of a person’s past and present health (Jarvis, 2012). This type of assessment provides subjective data provided by the client through a series of questions that can determine if the client’s lifestyle is appropriate for their well-being. In order to build trust between interviewer and client a rapport has to be built. Trust and rapport develop between the nurse and patient when the nurse has empathy or insight, and must emphasize to the patient that the information will remain confidential (Jones, 2009). This interviewer must use therapeutic communication with the client so that accurate information can be attained. Therapeutic communication involves careful listening to understand the client, using open ended questions to elicit complete responses, establishing a good rapport, and

An elderly patient is complaining of a bad cough at her yearly physical. She has recently been diagnosed with diabetes and regularly takes prescription pain medication for her arthritis.
I would want to study in the UK because I would like to get out and explore different parts of the world. In the states, you are told that you’re in the greatest country, well I want to see if that is true and what better place to start than the United Kingdom and learn about your culture, customs, and history while study my major in your country. And I’ve been to a lot of the U.S I feel I know it already. I want to explore and build a new home and foundation in a foreign land where I must start over and build new connection and start from the bottom and work my way up. I am in the United states so English isn’t an issue that I have to concern with and I’ve taken four years of U.S English courses in high school. Want to study in the UK because there is better for me to learn outside a comfortable environment.
On January 24, 1848, a discovery in a river near Coloma, California changed the course of that territory forever. While building a saw mill, James Wilson Marshall found a golden nugget by accident. All though the mill owner tried to keep the secret, news of the discovery soon started what is known as the “California Gold Rush” by 1850, so many people live in California that it became the 31st state of the United
How much knowledge do we have about the medications that we are prescribed from our physician? We don’t always as patients get to much knowledge about the medications from our doctor and we rarely ask the pharmacist about any concerns, and how many of us really have taken the time to read the description of the medications that is stapled onto the medication bag. I must confess I am not very good about that myself.
When you know your patients, you can discuss relevant information, or suggest books and articles that you think they would enjoy. For example, if you know that your patient has a child on the soccer team, ask about his or her most recent game.
The interview took place in a private setting, in the participant’s home that was free of distractions and noise. It is required to obtain an interview in a private setting for patient confidentiality and privacy. It took about an hour to for the interview because of the required information, family health history, current medications and remembering dates of the family history information. I first started introducing myself, explaining the purpose of the interview, estimated duration of the interview, and I asked the patient of any known allergies.
The twenty-first century has seen pharmaceutical companies grow in unprecedented size and strength. Due to the unprecedented growth the larger pharmaceutical companies have gained leverage and power in the prescription drug industry, but they lack innovation to market and they seek ways to help the business continue to increase its profits. The pharmaceutical industry was once ethically sound and was a valuable player in the development of human health. However, overtime with the lack of innovation pharmaceutical companies are becoming an unethical market that exploits patients, doctors and anyone else it can to increase its profitability. With eyes only on profitability this can create a hazard for patients because there
In our experience with Pharmasim we learned that Marketing decision making must be very sensitive and responsive to everything going on in the industry which is very complex. Consumer responses to marketing tactics can be volatile and unpredictable and no idea is guaranteed to work well. Marketing is a matter of meticulous research, assumptions, planning, and volatility at times. Overall we took away two major points: 1) that it is important to consider the product lifecycle in evaluating how to promote businesses and, 2) that the “Sweet Spot” as a competitive advantage should be the greatest point of consideration when evaluating how to best gain leverage to beat the competition in the minds of
My Butler University academic training and intern experience has positioned me to recognize and appreciate the essential role performed by the clinical pharmacist. Although sometimes transparent, it is the clinical pharmacist that is central to a patient’s ultimate successful recovery. This was evident during my clinical rotations, where I directly participated in the optimization of medication therapy to achieve patient-specific outcomes; it is for this reason I am impassioned and compelled to pursue a residency. As a PGY-1 resident, I plan to apply my clinical knowledge in the acute and ambulatory care settings to identify medication-related problems and make therapeutic recommendations in collaboration with other practitioners. Upon completion
What does it take to be a pharmacist? Pharmacy involves more than just handing out drugs, otherwise anyone could do it. “A pharmacist is a health professional who follows instruction from physicians regarding the amount of education to distribute” (“Pharmacy requirements”). The pharmacy profession requires a lot of education, demands patience and attentive work, provides good pay, and offers a satisfying job.
“Helping people on their path to better health” is a quote used by CVSHealth, I first heard it during the orientation for my pharmacy technician job. I love this quote because it really defines my purpose for wanting to be a pharmacist in the simplest way. My journey to becoming a pharmacists consist of why I selected pharmacy as a career, future goals, and my backgrounds that will help me achieve the goals that I set for myself.
