What is this?
Let the patient know which medication you are giving, and what it is intended to treat. -
ANSWERS-This is lisinopril, which you are getting to help control your high blood pressure.
I guess I'm not supposed to take this with food. Is that right?
Nurse: This is an opportunity to teach the patient whether this medication should be taken with
food. - ANSWERS-Lisinopril can actually be taken with or without food, whatever fits your
routine best. What is most important is to take this at the same time everyday.
Is it okay to take this with the blood thinners they're giving me?
Inform your patient whether there is an interaction between these drugs. - ANSWERS-I'm glad
you asked. There is no interaction between these drugs, so it's okay to take them together. It's
actually very important to keep your high blood pressure well controlled while you are receiving
blood thinners like warfarin and enoxaparin, which means you'll want to keep taking your
lisinopril regularly while you are on those medications.
So, this is the Lipitor then?
Let your patient know about the generic medication he is receiving. - ANSWERS-Yes, this is
atorvastatin, which is the generic name for Lipitor. I'm giving it to you to help keep your
cholesterol levels under control.
So, I just keep taking this stuff and it'll do its magic for my cholesterol, huh?
This is an opportunity to educate your patient on the lifestyle adjustments he can make to
improve the desired outcomes of this medication. - ANSWERS-To manage your cholesterol levels
