Suppositories Research Paper

Medication administration is a very imperative aspect in the field of nursing. The patients’ five medication rights: right patient, right drug, right dose, right route and right time is a very crucial part of nursing that has to be followed in order to lessening the possibilities of medication errors. Medication distributions among patients coincide with implementing the nursing process: assessment, diagnosis, planning outcome and intervention, implementation and evaluation. The nursing process aids nurses to carefully provide the appropriate patient care when it comes to medication management. Many times even with the proper nursing care and techniques nurses encounter interruptions when preparing and administering medications. In a research article, a tertiary care university teaching hospital conducted an observational study where it was established how often nurses were involved in interruptions

*Rectal administration – Medicines administered into the body by this route are absorbed very quickly. Suppositories are available for this route of administration and are inserted high into the rectum.

The three questions addressed were: Who should receive urinary catheters, what are the best practices for those who require urinary catheters and for preventing CAUTI’s acquired from urinary obstruction. This updated guideline offers recommendations for the appropriate use of indwelling catheters utilizing appropriate indications for usage, proper techniques for insertion of indwelling catheters, proper techniques for indwelling catheter maintenance, quality improvement programs, administrative infrastructure and surveillance including identifying those at risk for CAUTI (Gould et al, 2009). The strengths of this guideline are that many questions and scenarios are examined in this document and answered in explicit detail. Any healthcare professional can refer to the document to answer most practice based questions that are posed to them regarding indwelling urinary catheters. One weakness identified is the lack of an alternative explored for the external catheterization for female patients, for example the Purewick solution. However, the Purewick was not released until January 2016 and this guideline was last updated in 2009. Integrative Review

Some medications can be inserted into the anus (rectally) as a suppository. They may contain active ingredients that are meant to have a local effect.

It is normal for a patient to have absent or diminished bowel sounds after a postoperative ileus. Then nurse should ask the patient if they fell nauseous or feel like vomiting because if they do it should be addressed with antiemetic or prokinetic drugs. The nurse should assess for pain and avoid the use of opioid analgesics this will help by not prolonging but minimizing the duration of a postoperative ileus. The nurse should provide the patient with IV fluids until they can tolerate oral fluids to prevent dehydration and for the purpose of maintain fluid and electrolyte balance. The nurse should encourage early ambulation to promote peristalsis. Also, the nurse needs to assess the patient regularly to make sure they pass gas or have a bowel movement because this indicates the return of peristalsis which is a short term goal set for the patient. Once bowel sounds have returned the nurse should encourage the patient to resume to a normal diet to allow the return of normal peristalsis. Now, if the patient is not able to pass gas or have a bowel movement Bisacodyl (Dulcolax) suppositories may be given to stimulate peristalsis and promote the passage of gas or bowel

Many people take the efficiency of their digestive system for granted. Imagine having a bowel disorder that impacts your everyday life, by affecting your weight and hygiene, impacting the foods you are able to eat, decreasing your energy levels, causing severe colicky pain, at times making you feel awkward around others, and suddenly sending you to the bathroom in the middle of important events. Not only does it uncomfortably affect those aspects of a person’s life, but frequently becomes a serious health issue that if uncontrolled may land you in the hospital. Imagine having to take expensive medications everyday that are supposed to keep you from having your disorder flare up, but then those medications cause uncomfortable

What I learned about poop pills that they cure gut infections. Thomas Louie is a Dr but many people had died during the process 14,000 died. They did fecal transplant but in c-diff was to painful and to expensive. They had tested the poop pills so the won't dissolve in room temperature.Usual the patients will be able to have a fecal transplant in there patents but they aw deleting it because some people are doing it there self

In the article “Poop pills sound gross, but cure serious gut infections” by Newsela, it exclaims how “poop pills” can benefit other infections without the use of antibiotics. Doctors so far have already cured 27 patients with these pills without the use of antibiotics. This could be life changing now and possibly in the future. I say this because many americans die each year from infectious diseases in the gut from louzy antibiotics, these poop pills could change the future of your children or you as a person.

Attached to your discharge papers you will find a list of the medications that the doctor wants you to take at home. The prescriptions have already been sent to your pharmacy and the pharmacy will deliver them all to your home this afternoon after 4:00 PM. I will go over each of your medications with you.

The results showed that the use of SUP in patients with severe sepsis did not have a significantly decreased risk of GI bleeding or an increased risk of CDI. However, the use of SUP in critically ill patients had an increased risk of HAP. As a result, SUP might be unnecessary for patients with severe sepsis. Although there is extensive research concerning the effectiveness of pharmacologic agents of SUP, this study illustrates that prophylactic SUP may lead to adverse outcomes. Nurses can benefit from this practice because it can help prevent complications like HAP when treating patients with severe sepsis.

All n=24,522 patients received either GoLYTELY (Braintree Laboratories Inc, Braintree, Mass), HalfLytely & Bisacodyl Tablet Bowel Prep kit (Braintree Laboratories Inc, Braintree, Mass), Citrate of Magnesia (Aaron Industries Inc, Clinton, SC), or Fleet Phospho-soda (C. B. Fleet Co Inc, Lynchburg, Va) as oral bowel preparation solutions prior to their procedure.

Toilet substitutes include urinal, bedpan and commode. The patient would be able to use the urinal without assistance and lessen the chance of incontinence. The absorbent bed pads would give the patient protection if he is not able to get to the commode or urinal fast enough and provide a barrier between the sheets and his skin as most of the pads are moisture absorbent. The commode next to the bed would be the last resort in interventions as the patient would still need assistance to transfer from the bed. Putting these interventions into place would help the patient with incontinence and give him a sense of self help (Ebersole & Hess’,

More than 14,000 people die every year from an infectious disease called Clostridium Difficile, or C-Diff. This is a germ that causes severe cramping, nausea, and diarrhea. But now doctors have found a way to cure people with this infection. The doctors give you 24 to 34 pills to swallow in one sitting. These pills aren’t anything regular though, they are triple-layered capsules filled with a healthy person's stool. There isn’t really any poop in the pill, but just the good bacteria which helps to cure you of C-Diff. This treatment is more successful at curing people of this disease. You can buy very expensive treatments that won’t cure you. So in conclusion, poop pills may not sound amazing, they can really help your gut if you need it.

It helps reduce the volume of the anterior rectum in the treatment field thus, help reduce rectal toxicities. A distance of about 1.0-1.5 cm is usually achieved between the rectum and prostate sparing the rectal wall from the high doses. This separation results in a considerable dosimetric advantage for the rectum. In EBRT studies, relative rectal wall volume reductions of > 70% within the 90% isodose levels have been shown comparing treatment plans prior and following spacer insertion, i.e., only < 5% of rectal volume is included in the 70Gy isodose when a prescription dose of 78-79Gy is used. Biodegradable spacers, including hydrogel, hyaluronic acid, collagen or an implantable balloon, can be injected or inserted in a short procedure under transrectal ultrasound guidance via a transperineal approach (2).

Intramuscular injection is used for the delivery of certain drugs not recommended for other routes of administration, for instance intravenous, oral, or subcutaneous. The intramuscular route offers a faster rate of absorption than the subcutaneous route, and muscle tissue can often hold a larger volume of fluid without discomfort. In contrast, medication injected into muscle tissues is absorbed less rapidly and takes effect more slowly that medication that is injected intravenously. This is favorable
