Pharmaceutical Alternatives: Excipients and Impurities-Related Therapeutic Nonequivalence01:19

Pharmaceutical Alternatives: Excipients and Impurities-Related Therapeutic Nonequivalence

67
Pharmaceutical products contain more than just the active drug; they also contain various excipients such as binders, solubilizers, stabilizers, preservatives, and other elements. In some cases, impurities or contaminants might be present. Traditionally, quality control in pharmaceuticals has primarily focused on the analysis of the active drug, often overlooking the impact of these additional components. The recent issue with heparin contamination by over-sulfated chondroitin sulfate, a...

Pharmaceutical Alternatives: Stability-Related Therapeutic Nonequivalence

69
Generic intravenous (IV) drugs are considered bioequivalent to their branded counterparts due to their 100% bioavailability upon administration. However, variations in stability among different drug products can significantly influence their therapeutic performance, even if they are pharmaceutically equivalent.Cefuroxime, a prophylactic antimicrobial, is often used as a single-dose IV injection for patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. A 3 g dose typically provides...

Critical thinking helps decision-making and allows nurses to recognize barriers to success and find solutions to possible issues. It helps to brainstorm and implement ideas to achieve goals. Critical thinking helps acknowledge and state workflow inefficiencies while improving management techniques. Nurses understand the value of critical thinking and look for fellow nurses with critical thinking skills to upgrade their professional standards. Critical thinking can advance a nurse's career...

Accountability and Responsibility of a Nurse II

952
Professional accountability in nursing is a multifaceted concept that encompasses professional ethics, legal standards, and employment expectations. This framework ensures that nurses maintain and elevate the quality of care while upholding the values of their profession. It compels them to treat patients, families, and colleagues with respect, compassion, and integrity.
For example, a nurse demonstrating respect and compassion might listen attentively to a patient's concerns, provide...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Education
  • Quality Improvement Science
  • Healthcare Systems

Background:

  • Quality Improvement (QI) science is increasingly vital in healthcare.
  • Limited literature exists on implementing QI training in undergraduate pharmacy programs.
  • This study addresses the need for formal QI education in pharmacy curricula.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development and implementation of a QI training curriculum.
  • To integrate QI principles into an experiential pharmacy practice course.
  • To assess the effectiveness and student feedback on the QI training.

Main Methods:

  • A QI curriculum was developed for an eight-week pharmacy practice elective.
  • The curriculum combined didactic instruction and applied learning activities.
  • A partnership with a local health organization provided a QI preceptor and clinical team support.

Main Results:

  • Six students completed the elective and three QI projects.
  • Students valued the course flexibility, preceptor guidance, and alignment of learning with real-world application.
  • No additional cost or faculty burden was incurred.
  • Areas for improvement included reducing weekly tasks and enhancing clinical QI team availability.

Conclusions:

  • The elective course serves as a model for formally incorporating QI education into undergraduate pharmacy programs.
  • This initiative provides a foundation for future QI training in pharmacy schools.
  • The successful implementation demonstrates the feasibility of integrating QI into experiential pharmacy education.
