in patients of all ages

• Treatment of chlamydial pneumonia
- he standard treatment for infants is erythomycin
• Nicotine patch teaching
- Advise patients to dispose of used nicotine patches out of the reach of
children or animals. Enough nicotine is left in a used patch to lead to
toxic levels in a child or small animal.
- The transdermal nicotine system, or "patch," provides a slow,
cutaneous absorption of nicotine over many hours. The patch is applied
to clean, nonhairy skin on the upper body or upper arm when the
patient wakes up. Peak nicotine levels occur in 2 to 6 hours (brand-
dependent) and then gradually decrease. Once the patch is removed,
nicotine levels in the blood reach a nondetectable level in 10 to 12 hours
in nonsmokers.
• Nicotine gum patient teaching
- Patients complain about the taste of the nicotine gum. Suggest that
the patient try the flavored variety, which patients seem to tolerate
better.
- The patient should not eat or drink for 15 minutes before or while the
lozenge is dissolving in the mouth. There may be a tingling sensation
in the mouth as the lozenge dissolves.
- Chewing too quickly causes an excess amount of nicotine to be released
into the bloodstream, producing nausea, throat irritation, and
hiccoughs. The patient should avoid
