Client Education 

Client education is a key aspect of the medication administration process. The registered nurse must properly educate clients about a medication prior to administering it. Registered nurses must also have appropriate tools and instructional resources in order to properly educate clients, such as an education pamphlet, handout, brochure, or video demonstration depending on the client’s learning style.  .

WHO TO CONTACT IF QUESTION ARISE? 05 In case of any questions pertaining to ALDACTONE spironolactone diuretics and the overall wellbeing Call your doctor at once if you have: a light-headed feeling like you might pass out little or no urination high potassium level nausea, weakness v Primary healthcare v Family doctor v Primary nurse 2021 A DIETARY: diet with a high intake of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains is recommended. - Other recommendations include consuming low-fat dairy products, poultry, ish, legumes, non-tropical vegetable oils, and nuts; and limiting intake of sweets, sugar-sweetened beverages, and red meat. - This dietary pattern should be adapted to appropriate calorie requirements, personal and cultural food preferences, - Nutritional therapy for other medical conditions, including diabetes mellitus. One way to achieve this is by following plans such as the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet. CONTRAINDICATIONS: It is contraindicated for patients with anuria, Acute renal insuf iciency, Signi icant impairment of renal excretory function, Hyperkalemia -Too much potassium, Addison's disease, and with concomitant use of eplerenone https://www.rxlist.com/aldactonedrug.htm#overdosage 06 NONPHARMACOLOGICAL THERAPY? DIURETIC ALDACTONE (SPINOROLACTONE) Limiting sodium intake to 2,400 mg per day is recommended to lower blood pressure. Additional bene it occurs with a limit of 1,500 mg per day. (“Nonpharmacologic Management of Hypertension: What Works ...”) To lower blood pressure, patients should engage in moderate to vigorous aerobic physical activity three or four times per week for an average of 40 minutes per session. But in moderation for CHF patients. Clinicians should ask all adults about tobacco use and provide tobacco cessation interventions for those who use tobacco products. Reference Alexander, R.

Spironolactone is known as a "water pill" (potassium-sparing diuretic). 02 TARGET AUDIENCE: 40 - 60 YEARS OF AGE - People on this age have higher risk for urinary retention, therefore recycling luids, thereby increasing systemic resistance and Cardiac output leading to increased BP. - Evident swelling or edema is at increased risk in this age groups that is why it is prescribed to them. - Also, the most important thing is that Aldactone is classi ied as POTASSIUM-SPARING DIURETICS meaning it doesn't release K+ in urine but recycles it back, which is important since in this age group, muscles needed potassium to work and not become prone to weakness. INTERACTIONS: Medicines that interact with spironolactone may either decrease its effect, affect how long it works for, increase side effects, or have less of an effect when taken with spironolactone. An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of the medications; however, sometimes it does. Speak to your doctor about how drug interactions should be managed. Epinephrine, ammonium chloride amphetamines 03 2-3 CLIENT OBJECTIVES USING BLOOM'S TAXONOMY: REMEMBER: It is best to take your dose early in the day (before 6 p.m.) to prevent having to get up during the night to urinate. UNDERSTAND: K+ sparing diuretics is bene icial for those who have high BP with CHF, elderly because it lowers STROKE VOLUME and by lowering stroke volume, we lower cardiac output (CO) and by lowering cardiac output we are lowering blood pressure. APPLY: Aldactone goes with your maintenance drugs for BP and CHF. It is an adjunct drug that alleviates aggravating symptoms of the two diseases. Risk factors of having edema, incontinence is signi icantly decreased. Generic – Spironolactone Trade names: Aldactone, CaroSpir Common side effects: Drowsiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, stomach upset, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, or headache may occur. Get up gently while rising from a seated or laying posture to avoid lightheadedness. Adverse effects to immediately report to the healthcare provider: This medication may lead to high levels of potassium, especially in patients with kidney problems. Extremely high potassium levels can be lethal if not handled. If you have any of the following signi icant side effects, contact your doctor straight away: Muscle weakness, slow/irregular heartbeat. Reference: https://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug- 04 OBJECTIVE TO MONITOR AT HOME • In this case, the weight, labs, vital signs, and blood glucose levels of the patient need to be continually assessed. • At home, the client should monitor their weight daily, taking into perspective both the intake and output ratios. • Secondly, the electrolyte levels, blood glucose and serum uric acid levels should be monitored. • In this case, it is advisable for the client to have a glucometer (Ellison, 2019). • Additionally, the client should be on the lookout for any changes in their vital signs. Medication Administration: - Take this medication by mouth as directed by your doctor? - Take it with food or milk if stomach distress arises. - It is best to take your dose early in the day (before 6 p.m.) to prevent having to get up during the night to urinate. Precautions: - Avoid taking salt substitutes that contain potassium supplements while taking spironolactone. - Try to avoid foods high in potassium (such as avocados, bananas, coconut water, spinach, and sweet potato) - Eating these foods may lead to potentially fatal hyperkalemia (high blood potassium levels)

PANTOPRAZOLE

Purpose
➢ Pantoprazole is a
medication used to treat
conditions involving
stomach acids, by
decreasing the amount of
acid produced in the
stomach through proton
pump inhibition
mechanism (Koh et al.,
2018).
➢ The medication is used to
treat the damage to the
esophagus, which results
from stomach acid caused
by a disease known as
gastroesophageal reflux
