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.

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.
