تمرين 38

You are administering medications to your assigned patients (Meet Your Patients).What should you do in each of the following situations? Which patient should you attend to first? Explain your thinking.
• Ms. Jones has ibuprofen (Motrin) prescribed for her back pain. She tells you she cannot take this medication because it makes her feel nauseated.
• Mr. Bigler had an open reduction internal fixation of his arm performed yesterday and is receiving an antibiotic, cefazolin (Ancef), 500 mg IV every 8 hours. He has already received three doses of this medication, and you initiated his 0800 dose about 10 minutes ago. He tells you that he thinks his throat is closing shut.
