Congestive Heart Failure Dottie is a 78-year old CHF patient. She has been exercising with your facility for several years now. She had a CABGx3 in 2020. She came in today with a 5 lb. weight gain since yesterday when she weighed on her home scale this morning. Her meds include- Lipitor, Procardia, and Lasix. (Cholesterol, Calcium channel blocker Hypertension, and Diuretic, respectively) Her blood pressure is 132/88 and her HR = 102; Her weight is 196, up from 191 when last measured. She is a pleasant, overweight individual who enjoys walking on the treadmill and visiting with other members of your facility. 1. What are specific considerations for someone with CHF and exercise? How is the exercise prescription any different from the apparently healthy adult prescription? 2. What is your biggest concern with Dottie today and how would you handle this concern(s)?

Case Study 2Respiratory DrugsBrett is a 12 y/o boy with a history of asthma, diagnosed 2 years ago. He is an outgoing, active boy and participates in a swim club and soccer, but he has a difficult time adjusting to the limitations of his asthma. He has learned to control acute attacks by using albuterol (Proventil) metered-dose inhaler, and because his asthma is often triggered by exercise, he has been using a budesonide (Pulmicort) inhaler and taking montelukast (Singulair). After competing in his swim meet at the local indoor pool, Brett began experiencing respiratory distress. He alerted his coach, who retrieved the albuterol inhaler from Brett’s backpack. After two inhalations, Brett was still in distress and the rescue team was called.On admission to the emergency department, Brett is in obvious distress with pulse oximeter readings of 90% to 91%.

CASE STUDY 15.4 A disoriented 58-year-old man with a history of poorly controlled diabetes mellitus and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease presents to the ED. The patient has been smoking cigarettes for many years. He has been taking steroid medications for his pulmonary disease. Physical examination shows that he is slightly febrile, lethargic, and respiratory failure. A diagnosis of meningitis is being considered. A lumbar puncture is done, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is collected for a smear and culture. Laboratory Data A CSF specimen is collected and sent to the laboratory. A cytocentrifuged preparation of the CSF is stained, using calcofluor white for yeast by staining the yeast cell walls. The smear shows encapsulated, thick-walled budding yeasts. A cryptococcal antigen test is completed and is positive. The culture of CSF identifies Cryptococcus neoformans. Multiple Choice Questions Fungi are widespread in the environment but rarely cause central nervous system (CNS)…
Case Study Identifying Intravenous Delivery Systems, Administration Method, Infusion Rate, Stability/Compatibility, and Labelling of an Intravenous Admixture Mr. Blair, a 75-year-old man weighing 60 kg, was admitted to the Gastroenterology Unit of the Miracle Hospital with severe diarrhea due to food poisoning. After examining Mr. Blair, Dr. Clark ordered IV fluids of D5W 1000 mL q12h, for the next three days with added electrolytes, such as potassium, sodium, calcium, and magnesium, since Mr. Blair was severely dehydrated. In addition, suspecting Salmonella poisoning, Dr. Clark prescribed Septra, 500 mg IV q12h, to be mixed in the D5W electrolytes fluid admixture. What considerations must be taken into account prior to admixing this order? (NAPRA 6.1, 6.2, 8.3, 9.2) 2.If the drug is determined to be incompatible with D5W and electrolytes, what IV delivery system and/or administration method would you use to administer the medication?

Case Study: Mr S. is a 45-year-old man who has just been admitted to the ICU postoperative cardiac surgery. He has had an uneventful coronary artery bypass graft with no complications in the operating room. He is intubated and placed on complete mechanical ventilation. His vital signs are: blood pressure (BP) 150/90 mm Hg, heart rate 86 beats per minute, respiratory rate 12 breaths per minute, and temperature 35.3°C The target systolic BP for Mr S. is less than 130 mm Hg and the surgeon’s postoperative orders include BP medications and intravenous morphine sulfate for pain. In addition, the surgeon prescribes an nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, ketorolac, to be administered to the patient once it has been determined that they are not bleeding excessively and have acceptable renal function. The ICU where Mr S. is admitted has a respiratory therapist (RT) on staff. This RT is aware that mechanical ventilation is very uncomfortable for patients. There is a standing order in the…

Case Study 1 Morphine Suspension (1 mg/mL) One of your long-term patients who you have known for many years has progressed to end-stage prostate cancer and been placed on a palliative care program. The currently commercially available morphine liquids he has been using contain a flavouring agent that makes him nauseous. His Physician has requested you compound a morphine liquid for him without flavour as his pain is well controlled on this medication and he does not want to change to another pain reliever. Your pharmacy team and the Physician would like to make his end-of-life process as comfortable as possible. A formulation for a suspension appears to be a good option to try.
