The Importance Of Medication In Education

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

In the curriculum it says that the medication aid is legally responsible for their own actions. The other legal responsibilities/ abilities include; working under a RN/LPN, to administer various kinds of medication including oral, topical, and vaginal, name a few, to perform certain procedures if we are taught to and to supervise a license nurse if deemed competent. You can also legally refuse to perform a task that the CMA has not been trained to complete or if you don't feel competent to do so.

Introduction: I propose Broken Arrow High School should allow medications to be supplied in the nurse's office. Presently the administration does not allow the nurse to hand out medication. Unless you have a doctor's note saying that you have to have a specific medicine needed at a certain time during school hours, then you let the nurse hold on to it. As a senior, I have heard many complaints from students saying that they have headaches, stomach aches, and girls having their monthly issues, which leads them to miss class and refuse to do classwork. If we would be able to go to the nurse and take some medicine for that specific issue then absences and missing class would decrease and the teachers would not have to work as hard for the students

In states where school nurses are allowed to delegate some of their functions, nurses should only delegate administration of medications when it is safe for the students. School nurses should never delegate medication administration in cases of an unreasonable risk or harm to the student. Doing so, the nurse could be considered for disciplinary action, even if the state law provides immunity from civil liability (Schwab & Gelfman, 2005). Although state laws may allow for the delegation of the administration of oral medications, delegating other forms of medicines, including injectable, intravenous, or rectal medications is often prohibited. In fact, delegation of injectable medications may be limited to life-saving situations (Department of Health,

Ancillary services additional support services such as laboratory, radiology, pharmacy, and physical therapy services provided to patient during their course of care. Diagnostic tests in the emergency department (ED) were one the major contributors to ED crowding. When a laboratory test is ordered for a ED patient, an additional 80 minutes is added to their length of stay. For example, laboratory blood requires a lot of time. The physician has to place the order, then the patient’s blood has to be sampled, transported and analyzed in the lab, and then the results are issued.

College students usually take prescription stimulants orally and illegally. College students are usually stressed out about getting the best grade they can possibly get in a class. Students usually don't get enough sleep because of the constant need to finish papers and/or he or she is procrastinating. There aren't as many college students who are experimenting and getting high nowadays rather, the motives for taking these prescription drugs is so that one can have more concentration while studying because their future rides on how well they do in college. More of adolescents are the ones who are experimenting and taking drugs that have not prescribed for them, just so they can achieve or experience a certain feeling (Hamilton, 2009).

Illegal drugs are also becoming a problem in schools among the young adolescence. Schools should require random drug screening with the intent to disciple if drugs or found in their procession. Parents should be held liable if their child or caught with their prescription medication, is disturb or intent to sell, because prescription medication should be lock for the safety of their children. My focus for the paper on community safety, for adult, as well as, children is to keep positive events and activities on going in the community, so drugs will not be a solution to their problems, and to provide program in the community to up-lift the community to help keep the community safe for the well-being for the

Working with kids on daily biases, you learn to identify students who are on medication by the way they react when they are not on their medication. I have students who, when on their medicine, are actively focused during class. When they are not, it is very hard for them to focus for even 5 minutes.

The provision of written medication information given to the patient helps significantly in cases of medication non compliance (McGraw & Drennan 2004). This is because it aids in memory retention and presents patients with access to a reliable source of concise medication information, particularly if the patient needs to be reminded of certain aspects (Gorgos 2006). These written medication information sheets need to be provided in the patients primary, dominant language because it reduces the difficulty and limits barriers to patient understanding (Gorgos 2006).This is important because this intervention aims to increase a patient’s understanding of their medications, and when a patient feels more competent with the use of their medications, reduced

Even though many people may need medication to function a daily basis.  When taking the right amount, taking the right dosage, and taking it properly. People who had serious illnesses no longer have the illnesses, and preventing the illness from returning. Meaning such as people with cancer or who just had cancer typically take medication after they finish surgery and prevents cancer to return once again.  Some Americans need medication and are prescribed the right  to help their health maintain a simple healthy life style.  Many people are overmedicated and nothing is wrong with them they are just destroying their health.

The intended use of medications is meant to improve a person’ health, it is very important the individual administering medication or self-medicating use the drugs correctly, by following the doctors’ instruction for the medication prescribed. Medication is given to diagnose, treat, and prevent illness. Medication can be very dangerous, which can potentially cause harm or even deaf if it’s not used properly.

Last year, I wrote about a scary trend in which doctors are prescribing powerful ADHD medications to minors, whether they meet the ADHD diagnostic criteria or not. In that article, I noted that more than 70 percent of the children receiving ADHD medications in my home state, Oklahoma, do not meet diagnostic criteria for ADHD, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Why, then, are so many young people being medicated with these drugs? As I noted in the above piece, some doctors are prescribing ADHD drugs to kids simply to help them get better grades in school. These study drugs, common for years among the college set, are now being demanded by parents who want their kids to get top scores, even at the elementary school level. But what are the risks? Well, besides the many well-known side effects, including stunted growth, sleep problems, personality changes, suicidal thoughts, heart attacks and strokes, doctors have now added priapism and the possibility of permanent erectile dysfunction to the list. ADHD drugs and priapism According to this press release from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, many ADHD drugs, including those containing methylphenidate products, atomoxetine, and even those containing amphetamine products have been reportedly linked to cases of priapism. What is priapism? That is a painful erection that will not go away on its own and requires emergency medical treatment. Left untreated, priapism can lead to permanent damage to

I know it will become worse when they don’t have parents watching, and checking to note they are taking the proper amounts of medications. I did not realize there are multiple types of narcotics available for students. Sedatives and barbiturates show availability has been decreasing for all grades from 1975 to 2011. (Overview of Key Findings, 2011) I personally teach over 100 students in my classroom daily. I know several students that have prescriptions, and say it is ok to utilize these drugs to assist in sleep and relieve anxiety. With no parental supervision of these drugs at home, students are already on the path of addiction and problems that will have immensely serious health problems as they become

A systematic review conducted by Australian Health in 2013 review reveled that several studies reported medication use by different ethnic groups, 80% of African American women taking medication and 70.81% of Taiwanese taking medication regularly. However Medication was frequently missed in an Ethiopian study and high rates of missed medication were found in Puerto Ricans (Coyle, Meaghan

Today in the 21st century the roles of pharmacist have expanded tremendously. Before pharmacist had the role of solely dispensing drugs. Pharmacists were limited to only being regulatory or clinical pharmacist. Back then they were called medical purveyors who were much like today’s regulatory pharmacist and hospital pharmacist who are similar to hospital pharmacist. Now pharmacists carry many roles in healthcare. Pharmacist can play roles in public health, community, health systems, state, and federal government.
