Foods (spicy, spoiled) Fecal impaction, Bacteria, Virus, Inflammatory bowel disease (Chrons or UC), Irritable bowel syndrome, Toxins, Drug Reactions, Laxative abuse, Malabsorption syndrome, Bowel tumor, Etc…
of stools, increase viscosity and decrease fluidand lyte loss are which class of antiemetics
Antidiarrheals
Antidiarrheal Classifications
Opiates and opiate-related agents, Somatostatin analog, Adsorbents, Miscellaneous
Decrease intestinal motility and are frequently combined with atropine
Opiates and opiate-related agents
List Opiates and opiate-related agents
Difenoxin and atropine (Motofen), dipenoxylate with atropine (Lomotil),
Opiates and opiate-related agents S/E
SE related to anticholinergic SE of Atropineand Opiate SE (ANTI SLUD & Constipation)
Avoid these with CNS Depressants, risk ofdependence with prolonged use
Opiates and opiate-related agents
Inhibits gastric acid, pepsinogen, gastrin, cholecystokinin and serotonin secretion in the intestinal fluid as well as decreases smooth muscle contractility, what is
Somatostain Analog
Octreotide (Sandostatin) is a
Somatostain Analog
Octreotide (Sandostatin) is used for
Used for severe diarrhea from metastatic cancer
The action of Adsorbents
Coat the wall of the GI tract and absorb the bacteria or toxins that cause the diarrhea
Bismuth salts (Pepto-Bismol), Kaolin-pectin (Kaopectate) are examples of which kinds of medications
Adsorbents
A PT should avoid ___________ if allergic to ASA and avoid with MAOIs
Pepto-Bismol
Constipation Etiology
Poor fluide intake, impaction, bowel obstruction, chronic laxative use, Neuro disorder (Spinia bifida), Inactivity, Ignore urge to defecate, S/E of drugs.
List Types of Laxatives given in hospital setting
Osmotic (saline), Stimulants , Bulk forming, Emollients (stool softeners), Chloride Channel Activator (Amitiza), Opioid Antagonist
These laxatives are hyperosmolar salts that pull H2O into the colon toincrease bulk and stimulate peristalsis and defecation
Osmotic (Saline) Laxatives.
Example of Osmotic Saline Laxatives
Magnesium citrate, magnesium hydroxide (milk ofmagnesia), sodium biphosphate (fleet phosopho-soda),lactulose (enulos
Give an Example of Stimulates that activate peristalsis via mucosal irritation
Bisacodyl (dulcolax), castor oil (purge), senna (senokot), phenolphthalein (ex-lax).
_________________________ can stimulate uterine contractions,prolonged use of senokot can damage nervesresulting in loss of intestinal muscle tone.
Castor oil
Stimulants S/E
mild cramping, diarrhea, fluid/lyte imbalances
Natural fibrous substances that promote large, softstools by absorbing water into the intestine to increase bulk and peristalsis. They are nonabsorbable and know as ________________?
Bulk Forming Laxatives
