Music Therapy: Dilaudid Than Morphine

Decent Essays
Brian, Mitchell, Danielle, and Eva,

Your presentation was very well put together and flowed nicely from slide to slide. I learned quite a bit as I did not really know that Morphine was considered the golden standard for pain control in those suffering from moderate to severe pain. I work in the recovery unit and we use more Dilaudid than Morphine. We also use Fentanyl for fast acting pain relief. Music therapy seems to be popular in the elderly and I would often put the music channel on the television if my patient were suffering from dementia. It seemed to have a calming effect on them. Offering music therapy in conjunction with Morphine seems like it would be a great idea for those suffering with moderate to severe pain. I found it interesting

    The strength of my presentation is that it answers two main questions about the subject matter, what it is and who is at risk for this type of injury. It explains what a concussion or TBI exactly does to the brain. The presentation then turns its focus to those at risk, athletes of course, but also others including war veterans affected during combat situations. Another strength is how the visuals are put to use. It combines the pictures and information shown on the graphs to help correlate with the main speaking points for each particular slide.…

    For this assignment, my group’s topic was Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and how it is prevalent in the novel, ‘Speak’ by Laurie Hall Anderson. My responsibility was to do the facts and statistics slide and to do the two characters that experienced/influenced PTSD slide. While working on the assignment, I did run into some challenges. The biggest being that it was hard to find facts and statistics on PTSD that were Canadian and relatively recent. I ran into this issue because many websites that I found focused more on America, on worldwide facts and statistics, and the information was quite outdated.…

    Donald, Excellent topic! I felt this sentence was so powerful: “We are in the [throes] of an opioid epidemic[,] and yet we have no qualms pumping children full of stimulants on a daily basis.” I agree completely with that assertion. I think your tentative thesis was well thought out. I did notice an unfinished sentence at the end though… “The APA and AMA should come to a decision on this matter and not make drugs the.”…

    Music therapy. A term that has grown so much over the past few decades. As a music therapist in training, when people find out what I’m studying, the common response is “wow, that sounds so interesting, what is it?” I then often struggle to find the words to describe such an amazing concept to people in such few words. The trouble is that “music therapy means different things to different people for myriad reasons” (Bruscia, 1998).…

    Opioid Epidemic Analysis

    According to drugabuse.gov, from 1991 to 2013 there has been an increase in opioid prescription dispensed in pharmacies across the nation. In 1991 there were around 76 million prescriptions that were dispensed and in 2013 there were nearly 206 million. From these statistics, it can be seen that the opioid epidemic is a problem that has been on the incline in the US for years and will continue to do so in the future unless precautions are taken to stop it. At the symposium, it was brought up that doctors in the US receive very little pain training compared to other locations and other fields (in Canada doctors receive twice as much training and in the US veterinarians receive 10 times as much training in pain). In order to decrease the opioid…

    I found the presentation given by group one interesting. We are taught in class the importance of bedside reporting however, in my clinical experience this is rarely done. I could count on one hand how many times I have participated in a bedside report, and when I did the patient was not involved in the report at all. I really liked how bedside report was done in the video that this group showed. The patient was able to actively participate in the report, and I felt this style gave a complete clinical picture of the patient to the…

    Reflection About Classroom Teaching Experience Being an educator is a challenge and a new learning experience each time. As an educator, I am entrusted with the responsibility of shaping the way students think and feel in the classroom.

When I was assigned to work with professor Lynette Rayman to do my classroom teaching experience, I was thrilled because the topic I chose was chronic kidney disease which also happens to be my area of expertise. I had to incorporate my previous learning experiences to make my presentation lively.…

    Before I researched How Music affects Mental Health I knew that music touches a different part of the brain that can be distant or hard to connect to without it. Music also plays a huge role in my life as it does many others in the world. I sing everyday and that’s therapy in itself. My curiosity with how music affects mental health began when my sister started music therapy. Ever since I was a little girl I've always turned to music to get me through hard times.…
