Dosage Regimens: Designs and Approaches

562
Designing a dosage regimen, which refers to the manner of drug administration, is a complex process involving the selection of drug dose, route, and frequency. This process is underpinned by pharmacokinetic parameters derived from tests and population averages. These parameters are then tailored to patient-specific variables such as diagnosis, demographics, and allergy status. Once therapy commences, therapeutic response monitoring is critical and achieved through clinical and physical...

Prescription, Nonprescription and Orphan Drugs

1.4K
Prescription drugs require a prescription from a medical practitioner and can only be obtained from a pharmacy. They have many applications, including treating pain, anxiety, and hypertension.
The misuse and addiction to prescription drugs is a growing problem that can affect people of all age groups, specifically teenagers. This can happen when prescription medications are used in ways not intended by the prescriber, such as taking someone else's prescription or using medication for...

Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios

97
Pharmaceutical poisoning can occur through various channels, impacting an estimated 2 million hospitalized patients in the U.S. annually with serious adverse drug responses. These scenarios encompass both therapeutic uses, such as drug toxicity, where even standard dosages can lead to severe central nervous system depression, and non-therapeutic exposures, including accidental ingestion by children, and environmental and occupational exposures.Unintentional poisonings often involve exploratory...

Drug Therapy01:28

Drug Therapy

414
The advent of drug therapy has profoundly shaped modern mental health care, providing targeted treatments for a range of psychological disorders. Psychotherapeutic drugs, classified into antianxiety, antidepressant, and antipsychotic medications, address symptoms across anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and schizophrenia. While these medications have transformed patient outcomes, they require careful management due to their potential side effects and limitations.

Dosage Regimen: Individualization01:24

Dosage Regimen: Individualization

365
Individualization in dosing regimens is the customization of medication doses for individual patients. Its necessity arises from the goal of maximizing therapeutic benefits while minimizing risks. This approach is pivotal because human responses to drugs can vary widely; what is effective for one person may be inadequate or excessive for another. Interpatient (intersubject) variability refers to differences in drug responses between individuals, while intrapatient (intrasubject) variability...

Techniques of Therapeutic Communication II: Focusing, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing

13.5K
Focusing involves centering a conversation on a message's critical elements or concepts. Focusing is valuable if the talk is vague or patients begin to repeat themselves. Sometimes, when patients are asked about their symptoms, they may go off-topic and try to tell their entire life story. Respectfully, the nurse should bring the conversation back into focus.
This therapeutic technique can also be used when a patient brings up pertinent information during a health-related conversation. The...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Patient Safety
  • Clinical Practice

Background:

  • Prescribing errors are common among all doctors, including newly qualified physicians.
  • Newly qualified doctors generate most inpatient prescriptions, highlighting a key area for safety improvements.
  • Existing research on prescribing interventions lacks guidance for educators on successful implementation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey prescribing practices among final-year medical students and newly qualified doctors.
  • To identify best practices and areas needing innovation in prescribing education.
  • To inform the development of effective prescribing interventions across a UK region.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire-based study was conducted across 15 hospitals.
  • Separate questionnaires were distributed to those overseeing final-year medical student and newly qualified doctor education.
  • Data collection focused on local prescribing education and training initiatives.

Main Results:

  • Data from 12 hospitals (80% response rate) revealed varied educational methods for students, including assistantships and pharmacist-led sessions.
  • Free-text responses indicated potential for enhanced prescribing education and support.
  • All 15 hospitals reported on doctor education, utilizing e-learning, assessments, and pharmacist support.

Conclusions:

  • Current prescribing education primarily emphasizes technical skills and knowledge.
  • Future prescribing education should integrate human factors and the influence of electronic prescribing systems.
  • There is a need for further investigation and innovation in prescribing education strategies.
