First, beta blockers are known to have numerous side effects such as lightheadedness, hallucinations, worsening of asthma, and nausea. It is important to receive the drugs through prescription and that users know what is at risk, but unfortunately, that is usually not the case. One study of orchestra musicians showed that “70 percent of musicians taking beta blockers got them from friends, not physicians” (Tindall). These people are not only using beta blockers unlawfully, but are…

United States. This is a significant clinical fact for the advance practice nurses as it is one of the most motivating factors for advanced practice nurses to practice based on the best research evidence. Numerous studies have been conducted on the beta-blocker use in patients who have had acute coronary syndrome or events. The goal for those studies are to provide evidence to the clinical practice and aim for the best outcomes possible to decrease mortality and increase the patients’ quality of…

movement in 7 days. So, we gave her Miralax with prune juice and Colace. That day I was able to pass medications for the second time. They've put her on meds that mostly consist of beta blockers, calcium channel blockers and ACE inhibitors. I had to know the indications to why I have to give this patient the beta blocker. I was able to find the indication directly for the patient. So, the medication pass was a success. Also, understanding the contraindications is important. That's why it is…

Know One Drug Erin Wu I chose losartan. For your molecule: Note the primary indication, and a secondary indication (even if off label) The primary indication is hypertension. It is also used for diabetic neuropathy and hypertension with left ventricular hypertrophy. Note and be able to draw the pharmacophore that appears to be responsible for activity. Losartan1 valsartan2 The molecule on the left is losartan and the…

clusters of protein fibers between the nerve cells, as seen in Figure 1. They can be formed when pieces of a protein, also known as, beta-amyloid, begin to bundle together. The beta-amyloid are smaller pieces to a large protein that is found in the fatty membrane surrounding the nerve cells. Beta-amyloid stick together and eventually form plaques. Small clumps of beta-amyloid are more damaging than the larger ones. This is because the small clumps can possibly block the cell-to-cell synapses.…

The Ampicillin Effect of Escherichia coli in a Beta Lactamase plate and non Beta Lactamase plate. Jimena Cárcamo Lab 4 Concepts in Biology 173 C October 6, 2014 INTRODUCTION Bacteria can be conserved in a lab in many different ways, but the most common way is a suspension culture. A suspension culture is when the cells are grown in a sterile, full of supplements, broth. The broth allows the cells to divide and grow easily and will later turn into broth turbid. When culturing…

functioning of an organism” (Comer, 2014). Comer also explains that, “The plaques and tangles that are so plentiful in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients seem to occur when two important proteins start acting in a frenzied manner. Abnormal activity by the beta-amyloid protein is key to the repeated formation of plaques” (2014). Researchers have found that early-onset Alzheimer’s, which is onset before the age of 65, run in families. Personally, I have had one friend of my family get Alzheimer’s…

Patient Afib is a 58 year old, Caucasian, married male. The patient has been healthy most of his life with no significant health issues until the beginning of this year. One night, in April of 2016, patient Afib began to experience chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea, and vomiting prompting him to visit the emergency room. Subsequent tests revealed that patient Afib had symptomatic atrial fibrillation. Physicians in the ER stated that patient Afib probably had had atrial fibrillation for a…

About 40,000 babies each year are born with a congenital heart defect (“Congenital Heart Defect”). It also states in the article that the most common type of heart defect is the ventricular septal defect. A ventricular septal defect is a flaw in the septum; the septum is a “wall” in the lower chambers of the heart that separates the left and right side (“Ventricular Septal Defect”; “Atrioventricular Canal Defect in Children”). Parents are able to be more aware if their child acquires the defect…

speed and direction applied to a business model. It is based on the concepts of Theory of Constraints (TOC) – the system architecture, Strategic Design Activate Improve Sustain (SDAIC) – the deployment framework and Theory of Constraints Lean Six Sigma (TOCLSS) – the focused improvement process. The main goal of the new enterprise was to achieve readiness while meeting mission requirements and simultaneously reducing inventory and operational…
