Pharmacotherapy for Hematologic Disorders

In the 1970s, the average lifespan for patients diagnosed with sickle cell disease was 14 years. Today, the average lifespan has increased to 50 years and beyond (TriHealth, 2012). The patient prognosis for many other hematologic disorders such as hemophilia and cancer continue to improve as well. This can be attributed to advancements in medical care—specifically drug therapy and treatment. When managing drug therapies for patients, it is essential to continuously examine current treatments and evaluate the impact of patient factors on drug effectiveness. To prepare for your role as an advanced practice nurse, you must become familiar with common drug treatments for various hematologic disorders seen in clinical settings.

To prepare:

· Select one of the following hematologic disorders: anemia, hemophilia, cancer, sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, thrombolytic disorders, or white blood cell disorders. Consider the types of drugs that would be prescribed to patients to treat symptoms associated with this disorder.

· Select one of the following factors: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Reflect on how this factor might impact the effects of prescribed drugs, as well as any measures you might take to help reduce negative side effects.

With these thoughts in mind:

· a description of the hematologic disorder you selected including types of drugs that would be prescribed to patients to treat associated symptoms. (I am looking for an explanation at the cellular or molecular level (whenever possible).

· Then, explain how the factor you selected might impact the effects of prescribed drugs, as well as any measures you might take to help reduce negative side effects.

Points to follow when writing a paper:

Ø Please all bullets points, bold, red and highlighted area must be attended to. 

Ø A clear purpose statement (The purpose of this paper is to…) is required in the introduction of all writings. 

Ø Please review all rubrics.

Ø Check APA format/setting.

Ø Your final paragraph should be a summary of the key points of your paper.

Ø Please personalized where necessary.

You have been assigned 4 patients on an Intermediate Medical Care Unit. Two of the patients are post myocardial infarctions at various stages of their infarctions with multiple types of arrhythmias, the third patient is having drastic blood sugar fluctuations 218 down to 50 within minutes and its rebounds back up with changes in mentation and the fourth is reported to be having frequent TIA’s. One of the MI patients is having some dizziness and your TIA patient is presenting signs of impending stroke.

How would you prioritize your assessments and activities? How would you describe your critical thinking process and how do you organize and prioritize implementation of care?

 

Family nurse practitioners (FNPs) are graduate-educated, nationally-certified and state licensed advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) who care for medically stable patients across the lifespan, from infants to geriatric patients.

1. What are the educational requirements to practice as a FNP?
2. According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), what is the recommended terminal degree to prepare nurse practitioners.
3. Who determines the scope of practice for FNPs?
4. Who defines it? Who Credentials and what is the role of a Professional and Political Organization in defining the role?

I need a response for the following ( no less than 150 words):

Short term treatment for asthma in children include quick-relief ‘rescue’ medications.  They are also called short-acting bronchodilators and provide immediate relief of symptoms and last four to six hours. Albuterol is the most commonly used short-acting bronchodilator for asthma and Levalbuterol (Xopenex) is another. Asthma attacks are treated with rescue medications, and oral or injectable corticosteroids.  For long term use, long-acting beta 2-agonists (formoterol, salmeterol). Because of new oral formulations and recent considerations about their use in asthma attack, instead of short-acting beta 2-agonists, their indication in preschool asthmatic children might be reconsidered.

           Patient education includes teaching how to identify signs/symptoms. The parent is able to identify asthma signs and symptoms, including what is normal for their child, so they can better appreciate the signs when their child is unwell.  Puffs (medication) – Know how much Salbutamol to give their child (6 puffs <6yrs, 12 puffs >6yrs), and understand their child’s preventer medication and adherence strategies. Minimize triggers. Learn spacer technique – Able to demonstrate correct spacer technique.  And plan – Know when to call the doctor or go to the ER.

Above is the original work if you needed: 

Mrs. Cason brings her 10-year-old child to the clinic stating my son “just isn’t breathing right, he doesn’t want to play, he just sits on my lap or lays on the couch, and this  happens all the time.” Appearance of both mother and child is disheveled. The child’s wheezing can be heard across the room. When asked if her son is better at any certain time of the day the mother responds: “It’s like this all the time and has been for the past year, we just don’t come to the doctor because we don’t have any money.” 

Mrs. Cason’s son was diagnosed of asthma.

• Discuss short and long term treatment options for this child, inhaled beta2-adrenergic agonists. Include rationale for your recommendations. 
• What is your educational plan for the child?
