diabetic medications

Responses Module 4

# 1 Rebecca :

The media examples I have chosen to discuss are regarding diabetic medications that air on television commercials or online ads. As a nurse who works with the chronically ill and elderly population, I get quite a few phone calls with questions or requests regarding medication seen through advertisements. My patients will usually tell me they saw something on tv, usually know the name and that “it said it’s for diabetes” and then request a script from their provider. A lot of times the requests are for medications in pill form, not often do I get a specific request for a specific injectable diabetes medication or insulin.

The first diabetic medication in discussion is Trulicity. The commercial does clearly state that this medication is for Type 2 diabetics and it aids in lowering blood sugars as well as assisting with weight loss. At the end of the commercial, the narrator (very quickly) runs through a myriad of side effects and potential adverse reactions. The commercial concludes with saying the patient should speak with their provider for further information if Trulicity may be right for them. This is an example of a commercial that is run on television. I have found that it is mostly the older population that watches local television where these types of commercials can be seen. The younger generation tends to be more often on streaming services or differing internet platforms.

cultural diversity

I ;

think the information given is fairly effective in reaching differing patient populations with age, cultural diversity or educational background differences.

have had some elderly patients call me to say they saw a commercial for “a new medicine and it starts with a T.” More than once I’ve had to play detective and try and figure out what medication they are talking about, gather information from them, look at their chart and current medications and then if appropriate, go to the provider and request the medication for the patient.

believe the information put out there via this type of media is mostly successful in reaching the intended audience.

The second diabetic medication in discussion is Jardiance. The commercial clearly states that Jardiance is used in patients with Type 2 diabetes and also has cardiovascular effects in that it may lower the risk of heart attacks or stroke. At the end of the commercial, again, side effects and adverse reactions are stated. This commercial also concludes with saying the patient should speak with the health care provider for more information or to find out of Jardiance is right for them. This commercial is also run on television but like the first ad on Trulicity, it is also run online through various applications such as YouTube. I believe the information given is effective in reaching differing patient populations with age, cultural diversity and educational background differences. I also believe the information put out there via this type of media is mostly successful in reaching the intended audience.

Media is very useful in teaching content to students. It allows for variety and gives students that chance to learn the content through different methods. The first type of media that we will look at is print material . This can be the textbook, articles, journals, handouts, etc. This type of media is effective because students are able to take their time and learn at their own pace. Students are also able to highlight, take notes and look at the text as they study. This type of media is only good for students that know how to read and are able to comprehend what the printed material is saying. Printed material should also be in a language that the student understands and at a level that is appropriate for their age.

type of media

The second type of media that we will look at is visual media. This can be in the form of a picture ,charts, PowerPoints, virtual reality, and 3-D models. The effectiveness of this type of media is that it can reach a wider range of learners. Learners are able to create a different type of connection with visual learning that allows students to retain the information better. (Winarto et al., 2020) While visual media can be helpful for many learners it tends to need some kind of verbal or written explanation, which can decrease the usefulness of this tool in teaching.

The third type of media that we will look at is audio-visual. For many learners audio-visual is very common in their study practices. Films and short videos are the two common forms of audio-visual media that is used. This type of media is able to hold many learners’ attention, is easy to access and allows for a wide range of learners to learn at the same time. While this media is very useful for large groups it can be costly for schools due to copyright laws and depending on where the lessons are taking place the access to these videos can become difficult.

what causes asthma attacks

Instructions: Response must be at least 310 words written in current APA format with at least two academic references cited. References must be within the last five years. Response must extend, correct/refute, or add additional nuance.

D.R. asthma’s attacks will be under the classification of moderate. This classification is because his flows rates are between 65-70% (in the last three days); and he also has night time symptoms (increasing SOB, wheezing, fatigue, cough, stuffy nose, watery eyes, and postnasal drainage), which began four nights ago, these symptoms have not been relieved by the use of albuterol.

2.

It is important to know first what causes asthma attacks, this is because the airways narrow and it gets hard to breathe; this can result from spasms of the muscles around the airways, inflammation and swelling of the mucosal membrane that lines them, or high amounts of mucus inside them. The patient might have shortness of breath, wheeze or cough as your body tries to get rid of mucus.

Some known triggers of asthma attacks include allergies, air pollution, molds, dust mites, food and food additives, exercise, smoking, sinusitis, medications, weather, smoke, among others. (Gautier, & Charpin, 2017)

asthma

Also, for about 80% of people with asthma, a heavy workout can cause airways to narrow. Exercise is often the main asthma trigger. If the patient has exercise-induced asthma, he will feel chest tightness, cough, and have trouble breathing within the first 5 to 15 minutes of an aerobic workout. For most people, these symptoms go away in the next 30 to 60 minutes of exercise. But up to 50% of people with exercise-induced asthma may have another attack 6 to 10 hours later. A slow warm up may help prevent this. (Mazurek, & Syamlal, 2018).

family history of asthma

Severe heartburn and asthma often go hand-in-hand. Up to 89% of people with asthma also have severe heartburn, or GERD. It usually happens at night when the patient is lying down. Normally, a valve prevents stomach acids from backing up into your esophagus. When the patient has GERD, this valve doesn’t work like it should. The stomach acids reflux, or back up, into the esophagus. If the acids reach the throat or airways, the irritation and inflammation they cause could trigger an asthma attack. Clues that suggest reflux as the cause of asthma include the start of asthma in adulthood, no family history of asthma, no history of allergies or bronchitis, difficult-to-control asthma, or coughing while lying down.

Since there is not too much information about D.R., I would assume that a factor that could be a trigger for his attacks, could be the frequent nebulizer treatment, that he is taking too frequently, besides that, any of the previous factors could apply to him, we would need to perform a deeper assessment to determine what is the cause for his attacks, and try to solve it.

3.

If I would have to make a guess regarding the etiology for D.R.’s symptoms, I would say that some of them are: a family history of asthma, weather changes, cigarette smoking, also ask him if he has any pets at home since pet’s hair can trigger his attacks, any dusky environment.

hypertonic imbalance

1.

She has a hypertonic imbalance with high extracellular fluid concentration, all of these is because her sodium level is 156 (normal 135-145).

2.

Some symptoms that she might experience with the potassium levels that she has are:

Palpitations, irregular heartbeats, weakness, nausea or vomiting, chest pain, trouble breathing, feelings of numbness or tingling; some other symptoms could be decrease urinary output, thirst. (Simon, Hashmi, & Farrell, 2020)

3.

The most appropriate treatment for Ms. Brown would be giving her solutions that are salt free isotonic, and in this way her sodium levels could return to normal. By giving her this solution, her fluid volume should increase, and her potassium levels should go down.

4.

Her ABGs indicate that she is experiencing an Uncompensated Metabolic Acidosis.

5.

plasma electrolyte concentrations.

The anion gap (AG) is a calculated parameter derived from measured serum/plasma electrolyte concentrations. Both increased and reduced anion gap have clinical significance, but the deviation from normal that has most clinical significance is increased anion gap associated with metabolic acidosis. This reflects the main clinical utility of the anion gap, which is to help in elucidating disturbances of acid-base balance.

The anion gap is an additional piece of clinical information that can be easily derived without cost from the most commonly requested biochemical profile urea, and electrolytes (U&E). It is not possible to calculate the anion gap if serum chloride is not included in the profile. The principal clinical use of the anion gap is in assessment of acid-base disturbances, particularly metabolic acidosis. Marked increase in anion gap (> 25 mmol/L) is almost invariably incontrovertible evidence of metabolic acidosis.

metabolic acidosis

The distinction between normal. And high anion gap metabolic acidosis allows the anion gap to help in determining the primary cause of metabolic acidosis. The anion gap has additional utility in the investigation of patients. Who present with metabolic acidosis in association with another acid-base disturbance. Reduced anion gap is by comparison with increased anion gap a rare finding that is not associated with disturbance in acid-base balance. But can be indicative of several conditions including hypoalbuminemia, myeloma and lithium intoxication. Accurate interpretation of anion gap results is potentially hampered by lack of consensus on the method of calculation. And significant variability in reference interval. (Rastegar, & Nagami, 2017)
