Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I01:21

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I

2.6K
An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care.
Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution...

Additional Routes of Drug Administration

5.1K
Choosing the appropriate route of drug administration is significantly influenced by two key factors: the therapeutic objectives and the inherent properties of the drug being used.
Administering drugs via inhalation allows for the direct delivery of gaseous, volatile substances or droplets to different parts of the respiratory tract. One of the advantages of the inhalation route is the rapid absorption of drugs into the circulatory system, which is possible because of the large surface area of...

Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.
In 1978, international leaders convened in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan, for what would be a pivotal event in global health. The Alma-Ata Declaration was the first to call...

Routes of Drug Administration: Overview

9.2K
Drug administration involves delivering drugs to the body through various routes, such as enteral, parenteral, and topical.
Enteral administration refers to drugs absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract. They can be swallowed (perorally), placed under the tongue (sublingually), or on the inner lining of the cheeks (buccally). Perorally administered drugs take time to be absorbed and have a slower onset of action. The rectal route is another form of enteral administration, which allows for...

Planning Nursing Care II

3.8K
A nursing care plan can present in two forms: informal and formal. Informal is a care plan for the individual use of the nurse and goals they wish to accomplish during their shift. Informal care plans are not included in the patient chart. A formal nursing care plan is a written or computerized guide that organizes patient care. It is further subdivided into two: standardized and individualized care plans. Standardized care plans are pre-populated care plans for specific patient populations,...

Routes of Drug Administration: Parenteral01:25

Routes of Drug Administration: Parenteral

3.7K
The administration of drugs via parenteral routes allows for direct drug introduction into the systemic circulation, resulting in high bioavailability because the medication bypasses the harsh conditions of the gastrointestinal tract and hepatic metabolism.
The intravenous route (IV) of drug administration can be further categorized into two types. The bolus injection administers the entire dose rapidly, while an intravenous infusion slowly delivers smaller doses steadily.
The IV route is often...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Clinical Pharmacy
  • Healthcare Professional Training

Background:

  • Prescribing errors are a significant problem, with junior doctors implicated in most hospital prescription mistakes.
  • The transition from medical student to junior doctor presents challenges, particularly in prescribing competency.
  • Existing prescribing education often lacks practical, real-world application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and implement a practical prescribing course for final-year medical students.
  • To address the identified gap between theoretical knowledge and practical prescribing skills.
  • To enhance junior doctors' confidence and competence in medication management.

Main Methods:

  • A five-session course focused on practical prescribing using real drug charts.
  • Teaching delivered by junior doctors (Foundation Year 1) with recent transition experience.
  • Student confidence in prescribing scenarios measured pre- and post-course.

Main Results:

  • Students reported increased confidence in prescribing after completing the course.
  • The course provided practical experience with medication management tools.
  • The curriculum focused on skills relevant to junior doctors' daily practice.

Conclusions:

  • A prescribing course designed and delivered by junior doctors effectively bridges the theory-practice gap.
  • Peer-led education by junior doctors offers a unique and valuable approach to prescribing training.
  • This model enhances medical students' readiness for prescribing responsibilities as junior doctors.
