    Esquimalt Case Study

    In 2015, Victoria, BC saw an increase in drug overdoses throughout the city including one death occurring in Esquimalt (news source). Drug-related fatalities are preventable if the population has access to services that would minimize the risk of an overdose. Through an assessment of the community of Esquimalt, I am proposing that there is a need to build a safe injection site to prevent accidental overdoses, as well as provide social services for detoxification and rehabilitation programs. It is important to note that Victoria and Esquimalt are not distinguished communities when studies are done. Therefore, the extrapolation of exact drug use statistics for Esquimalt is not available.…

    Electronic Medication Research

    Electronic Medication Administration Record and Patient Safety One of the reason medication related deaths occur are due to medication errors (Karen, 2011, p. 1). In fact, within the United States, approximately 7,000 people die each year due to medication errors (Karen, 2011, p. 1). According to Karen (2011) 1.3 million medication errors occur yearly, which relates to several injuries and approximately one death a day related to medication errors in the Unites States (Karen, 2011, p. 1). One major cause of medication errors can be explained using the medication administration process (Mccomas, 2014, p.590). When a health care provider is responsible to administer a medication, there are approximately 50 to 100 steps involved in this process…

    Opioid Abuse Research Paper

    Within the past year, eleven million Americans abused an opioid pain reliever and two million became dependent on them. Opioids are one of the most accessible drugs because of how often they are prescribed and are often seen as a gateway to other drugs. Seeing that most opioid abusers are aged twenty-five to forty, it is safe to say that many have children or will have children. As with any type of drug, opioid use has a significant effect on the daily life of the user, which in turn, affects their loved ones. Children whose parents are abusing opioids have shown to be more delinquent, have more mental health problems, and have a higher chance of accidental overdose.…

    Improving Prescription Drug Monitoring Essay

    Conclusion Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, the total prescriptions per year in United States have increased rapidly, and the study done above confirms that these increasing prescribing rates are causing significant damage to the country’s health. As the number of prescriptions increase, the amount of prescription harm recorded not only follows but increases at a significantly higher rate. This disproves my original hypothesis and indicates that the prescription process is currently flawed, and this flaw primarily originates within the drug monitoring systems. Improving Prescription Drug Monitoring As explained by Dr. William Yang, the increasing prescription rates alone should not be alarming as they can be attributed to the advancements in diagnostic technology, but the current drug monitoring systems are incapable of managing the superior number of prescriptions. As highlighted by the recent efforts of INSPECT, the drug harm trends can be reversed by improving prescription drug protocols.…
