There are TWO parts to this discussion to answer altogether in your first post this week:
Part 1: Based on your designated topic for the pharmacology research paper, provide several specific details on the pharmacokineticsof your assigned drug. This should include information about the major themes expected in the paper such as absorption, metabolism, distribution, and excretion. Refer to Unit 1 for assistance in determining what is included in each of these categories.
Part 2: Choose ONE of the following scenarios to discuss in paragraph form with no fewer than six sentences.
Scenario 1
You are working in a community outpatient clinic where you perform the intake assessment on R.M, a 38-year-old woman. She is being worked up for endocrine disease based upon her symptoms – fatigue, weight gain of 15 pounds over two months, frequent muscle cramps and constipation. R.M is diagnosed with myxedema and immediately started on levothyroxine sodium.
What are the s/s of hyperthyroidism? What are the possible causes? (USLO 7.1, 7.4)
How does levothyroxine sodium treat hypothyroidism? (USLO 7.1, 7.2)
What should be included in patient teaching for R.M? Explain your answer. (USLO 7.3, 7.4)
