Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients01:15

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

345
Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

2.6K
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data...

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Absorption

801
As individuals age, their body's physiology evolves, affecting drug pharmacokinetics. The most apparent changes occur in the gastrointestinal tract, where an increase in gastric pH, a delay in gastric emptying, and a reduction in gastrointestinal motility are observed. Remarkably, these changes do not substantially modify the absorption of orally administered drugs, particularly those absorbed via passive diffusion.Transdermal drug delivery emerges as a highly viable method for older adults due...

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Excretion

311
In geriatric patients, renal physiology undergoes significant changes, including diminished renal blood flow and a lower glomerular filtration rate (GFR), leading to alterations in medication clearance. Drugs such as aminoglycoside antibiotics, lithium, and digoxin, which rely on glomerular filtration for removal from the body, particularly impact pharmacokinetics. These drugs tend to have slower clearance rates in older adults, necessitating careful dosage considerations.Evaluation of renal...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation

2.3K
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

314
Age-related pharmacokinetic changes are extensively documented, but understanding age-related pharmacodynamic alterations is relatively limited. This knowledge gap can be partly attributed to the complexity of developing appropriate measures of drug responses compared to bioanalytical methods for determining drug concentrations.Most information regarding age-related differences in human pharmacodynamics originates from cross-sectional studies. However, these studies assume that observed mean...

Area of Science:

  • Geriatric Medicine
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Geriatric medicine education is crucial for preparing healthcare professionals to manage the complex needs of older adults.
  • Traditional medical curricula may not adequately address the unique challenges in geriatric care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a geriatrics curriculum designed for medical students.
  • To assess the impact of hands-on patient case experience on geriatric competency development.

Main Methods:

  • Medical students participated in a geriatrics curriculum involving real patient case reviews, patient/caregiver interviews, and community resource identification.
  • Student feedback was collected using a 5-point Likert scale.
  • Final care plans were assessed for evidence of learning in geriatric competencies.

Main Results:

  • Students rated the curriculum highly for developing clinical reasoning (3.70) and interdisciplinary teamwork (3.69).
  • Effectiveness in assessing older adults with medical illness (3.87) and performing mobility/functional assessments (3.85) was also rated positively.
  • Analysis of care plans confirmed student learning in areas such as falls, medication management, cognitive disorders, and self-care.

Conclusions:

  • The geriatrics curriculum successfully facilitated in-depth learning of multiple geriatric competencies.
  • Experiential learning with real patient cases is an effective method for medical students to gain geriatric expertise.
