Patient Teaching
Oral medications: Indications
Am I taking anything new? Are these just my usual pills?
Introduce the new oral medication, azithromycin, that Doris will be receiving.
Student Response Model Response
I am giving you a new medicine, azithromycin,
which is an antibiotic to treat your pneumonia.
IV medication: Indications
No patient question.
Tell Doris what the IV medication is for before beginning the infusion.
Student Response Model Response
I am going to start an IV of the antibiotic
ceftriaxone to treat your pneumonia.
IV medication: Action
Didn't I just take a pill for that? Why do I have to have two antibiotics?
Explain why Doris is receiving both oral azithromycin and intravenous ceftriaxone.
Student Response Model Response
You are getting two different antibiotics in order to
treat the common germs that cause pneumonia in
someone your age. The two drugs will work better
together to get rid of the infection in your lungs.
IV medication: Side Effects
No patient question.
Let Doris know if there are side effects of ceftriaxone she should alert someone about.
Student Response Model Response
If you develop a rash or difficulty breathing, press
your call button right away.
Subcutaneous medication: Indications
No patient question.
Tell Doris what you will be injecting.
Student Response Model Response
The last medication I have for you is your dinner
time insulin dose.
Subcutaneous medication: Form
Are you sure that's the right one? I use one of those pens for my dinner shot.
Explain which form of insulin you are administering.
Student Response Model Response
This is insulin aspart, the generic name for
NovoLOG, which might be the name on your
insulin pen. The form in the vial is the same, but
many patients like you use the pens because they
can be easier to manage at home.
Subcutaneous medication: Drug-Food
No patient question.
Remind Doris that her dinner tray is ready and let her know when to eat after receiving
the insulin injection.
Student Response Model Response
Remember this is a rapid-acting insulin, so you’ll
want to eat straight away. I have your dinner tray
here so you can eat once we’re done with the
medications.
