Introduction Ethics is not a specific set of rules but a set of moral principles that govern a person's behavior (Epstein, B., Turner, M., 2015). Ethics is how we provide practical and patient care to our patients (Epstein, B., Turner, M., 2015). Nursing is one of the most challenging professions, and we should always provide quality patient care. Individuals often determine right or wrong based on emotions (Epstein, B., Turner, M., 2015). Ethics is not based on emotion but on your actions...

Dissimilarities Between Type 1, Type 2, Gestational & Juvenile Diabetes In type 1, once known as juvenile diabetes (insulin-dependent), the pancreatic beta cells that release insulin are targeted and killed by the immune system, essentially not producing insulin or an insufficient amount (Rosenthal, L. D., & Burchum, J. R. 2021). Although it can sometimes occur in adults, this kind of diabetes often manifests during childhood or adolescence. The signs of type 1 diabetes, such as increased thirs...

Case Study Summary Based on the assignment reviewed Mr. Akkad is a 76-year-old Iranian male who was brought into the clinic for “abnormal behavior” as reported by his eldest son. Per his son these behaviors started 2 years prior to arrival in the clinic but have since worsened. Per the son they began to worry when his father no longer wanted to attend religious services with his family, which is a major part of Iranian culture. Mr. Akkad has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Decis...

Decision Tree for Alzheimer’s Disease. Purpose Statement. Alzheimer’s Disease was initially described by Alois Alzheimer in 1906 and has since been classified as an incurable form of dementia characterized by agnosia or loss of perceptual ability, apraxia - loss of purposeful meaning of actions, and dysphasia – failure of meaningful use of words (Martone and Piotrowski, 2022). There were 24 million cases of Alzheimer’s disease reported worldwide in 2020 and a 4-fold increase is predict...

Ethical and Legal Implications for Stakeholders Involved The prescriber is at the top of the chain regarding the sequence of medication prescriptions as per the patient's standard. It is during the prescription that the error manifests itself fast. A prescription error is morally and legally unacceptable. The prescriber must initiate the most appropriate actions to understand the patient. Just below the prescriber is the pharmacist. Before prescribing any medication, a pharmacist should get ...

Ethical and Legal Implications of Prescribing Drugs A critical role of the healthcare provider is to seek the best for their patient. As an advanced practice nurse, learning the ethical and legal implications of prescribing medications in your state is crucial. A study by Kuo, Phillips, Graham, and Hickner (2008) reported that 70 percent of errors were medication errors. In this scenario, an 18-month-old boy is admitted to the hospital for failing to thrive and having lost six pounds. He has an...

Assignment 2: Ethical and Legal Implications of Prescribing Drugs Overall, clinical trials are very important because they are the only way to provide reliable evidence with regards to the effect of treatment. Clinical trials that involve children are very rare. However, more of them would be helpful as it will increase practitioners’ knowledge with regards to the effectiveness of medicine (FDA, 2017). The problem is that prescription in children depends on trials that involve adults. Yet, ch...

Assignment: Pharmacotherapy for Cardiovascular Diseases The chosen factor The factor that might influence the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes of the patient is age. His advancing age comes with impairment in the function of regulatory processes, which are important towards functionally integrating his organs and cells. Consequently, his body may fail to carry out homeostasis when faced with physiological stress. This means there are both pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic changes...

Introduction Several risk variables, such as older age, increase the likelihood of drug-induced disorders. This paper will synthesize pharmacotherapy for cardiovascular diseases and describe pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes in the supplied scenario (D. A. Sychev et al., 2021). Age-related changes in body systems, regular monitoring of the medicine's safety, altering the dose regimen, and revising the treatment plan can optimize pharmacotherapy, thus, decreasing the risk of adver...

Running Head: Pharmacotherapy for Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Disorders Introduction In this case study I will be discussing pharmacotherapy for gastrointestinal (GI) and hepatobiliary disorders. The patient that is presented in a case study is HL that came in to the clinic due to nausea, vomiting and diarrhea which are related to possibility of GI infections and hepatobiliary disease Per patients history, it is evident patient has a history of drug use and possible hepatitis C. Patient...

JJ is a 7-year-old male who has had asthma his entire life. Multiple treatments have been tried, but nothing works completely. A study regarding a new asthma medication is being developed. This medication contains a bronchodilator/steroid/antihistamine as an inhalation. None of the drugs being studied have previously been approved for children under the age of 12. Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) are vital in our healthcare system. APRNs treat and diagnose illness and manage chronic...

Pharmacotherapy for Cardiovascular Disorders 2 The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of medications are influenced by heredity, gender, ethnicity, age, and behavioral factors. Advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) must consider all these elements that could influence a patient's response to therapy, and treatment should be personalized to the individual's needs. Pharmacotherapy becomes even more difficult for patients with co- morbidities and taking many medications. Before pr...

Introduction There are many factors that affect the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs, including age, gender, genetics, ethnicity, and behavior factors. These factors can increase the likelihood of patients developing drug-induced disorders. Age is an important and common factor to consider when prescribing medications. The purpose of this assignment is to synthesize pharmacotherapy for cardiovascular diseases and to explore how aging influences pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, ...

Introduction In this case study I will be focusing on pharmacotherapy on Cardiovascular system. I will be analyzing patient LM which is a 86 year old female that presented to the emergency department with delirium. Patients medical history concludes A Fib that was diagnosed a month ago, hypertension (HTN) of 10 years, CKD of 5 years, Osteoarthritis of 7 years and GERD for 20 years. It is evident by her husband’s words that the patient is not self-monitoring her blood pressure (BP) or hea...

Introduction Presented in the case study was a 74yo male African American seeing his primary care provider (PCP) because he woke up feeling like his heart was not beating right and feeling like it was going too slowly. The patient also complained of nausea, vomiting, and dizziness earlier in the day. Some medication changes were made six weeks prior; he started on Diltiazem CD, and his Metoprolol was lowered from 75mg to 50 mg twice daily to help lower his blood pressure. Some of his objective ...

Pharmacotherapy for Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Disorders Advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) are responsible for conducting patient physical examinations, making diagnoses based on the patient's complaints, ordering diagnostic tests, prescribing medications, and offering educational counseling. Direct patient care is provided by APRNs, who are required to carefully assess patients' complaints to properly prescribe a pharmacological therapy that focuses on the condition'...
