UNIT 616-Administer medication to individuals and monitor the effects 1. Identify current legislation, guidelines policies and protocols relevant to the administration of medication There are several legislations in place with protocols for the administration of medication which I have listed below. The main policy re admin of drugs and storing of drugs and medicines is the Control Of Substances Hazardous to Health or COSHH but along with this there are other policies in place as per the list below. *The misuse of drugs act 1971 *The misuse of drugs regulations 1973 *the Medicines Act *The NHS Pharmaceutical Service (regulations) 1995 *The Children Act 1989 *The Children’s Act (Scotland) 1995 *The Health and Social care Act 2001 *The Care Standards Act 2000 *The health Act 2000 *The Mental Capacity Act (2005) *The Access to Health records Act (1999) 2.1 Describe common types of medication including their effects and potential side effects Paracetamol is classified as a mild analgesic. It is commonly used for the relief of headaches and other minor aches and pains and is a major ingredient in numerous cold and flu remedies.
Title Ink Chromatography Lab Background Information and Research 1. An ink chromatography is a way to separate a mixture. It uses solvents to separate the dyes that are used to make the color which is why there are more colors on the paper than what you start with. Paper chromatography has a variety of uses here are three that pertain to chemistry and biology. Paper chromatography can be used in separating amino acids and anions, RNA fingerprinting, and testing histamines and antibiotics.
As a more polar solvent is use to push the different rings of pigment, these are collected in their own test tubes to then be run in a TLC which will determine the polarity using the Rf values and then comparing them to the table in the organic lab manual ones. This is important because we want to know what some things are composed of and by using the polarity in different components makes it easier to determine them. The gain from this experiment is determining the different pigment of spinach and by doing so comparing the polarity of each of them. Then determine why that could be by looking at the structures of the pigments separated. Discussion: The first thing done in
Ibuprofen – pain reliever and fever reducer. Side effects include indigestion, skin rashes and headaches. 2) Identify medication which demands the measurement of specific physiological measurements. Medication which demands measurement of specific physiological measurements includes insulin, warfarin and digoxin. 3) Describe the common adverse reactions to medication, how each can be recognised and the appropriate action(s) required.
ADMINISTER MEDICATION TO INDIVIDUALS AND MONITOR THE EFFECTS (ASM34) 1.1 Identify current legislation, guidelines policies and protocols relevant to the administration of medication. *The medicines act 1968 *COSHH *The health and safety at work act 1974 *The misuse of drugs act 1985 *health and social care act *Data protection act 2.1 Describe common types of medication including their effects and potential side effects. *Analgesics:-Codeine it is used for pain relief and the side effects can be headaches, nausea and dizziness. *Antibiotics:-Amoxicillin, it is a penicillin based antibiotics which fights bacteria in the body and fight infections. The side effects can be fever, joint pain, red skin rash and dark coloured urine.
Unknown Lab Report: Enterobacter cloacae Jessica Sainvil Professor Cupido Bio 253L1 Thu 9:30-12:30 Due Date: 12/6/12 Unknown#103 Introduction The bacterium Enterobacter cloacae isolated from the given #103 was a Gram-negative Rod. The purpose of this lab was to isolate and identify the genus and species of an unknown bacterium. It is important to identify an unknown microorganism because knowing how the bacteria work and how it is structured means knowing how it can affect humans. Unknown bacteria may also be used clinically many pharmaceutical drugs are based on products made by organisms (Katzung, B.G.2004). In order to identify the unknown organism a series of tests were performed.
Ultrasound (of the abdomen) or a Diagnostic paracentesis: ultrasound to see what is causing the distention of the abdomen, Paracentesis: fluid removal, the wave test was positive Additional blood work- Liver function tests, coagulation tests, CBC w/diff.. 4. Identify 7 treatment options and or medications that should be considered with rationale. Each treatment option with rationale is worth 2 points. Paracentesis- drain fluid Intubation- ICP related complications may require mechanical ventilation and it may be necessary to initiate hyperventilation therapy. ICP catheter- to decrease ICP Vitamin therapy/ Nutritional referral- because of her BMI and nutritional status r/t her pathologies.
Magic marker inks are often mixtures of several compounds. Paper chromatography is a common method of separating various components of a mixture. After separation, you can observe the different colors that make up a particular color of magic marker ink. You can also calculate a ratio Rf, which compares how far each compound traveled to how far each solvent (substance that dissolves another substance) traveled during the experiment. Rf = Ds/Df Ds = Distance traveled by the compound Df = Distance traveled by the solvent Materials: coffee filter, tape, isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol), water, 3 different color magic markers (not permanent); 3 identical tall, narrow drinking glasses; metric ruler, 3 pencils Pre-lab Questions: List one extensive and one intensive property of marker ink.
Lumbricalis variegates cardio vascular system has a myogenic nature(myogenic-depolarisation impulses for heartbeats originating in muscle cells), the dorsal and ventral blood vessels have peristaltic pumps (Halfmann & Crisp 2011). The chemicals chosen as the treatment is ethanol and nicotine, it is assumed that ethanol will slow the pulse rate in the cardio vascular system and that nicotine will speed it up, because of these stimulant and depressant nature. Materials & Method: * Blackworms Lumbricalis variegates (35) * Petri dishes (8) * Pipettes (8) * Paper towel * Recovery bowl * Microscope * Stopwatch * Slides
Many are minor, some are just an inconvenience. The most common side-effects are rashes, itching, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea (or occasionally constipation), lethargy, headaches and blurred vision. If you suffer with these you should contact your Gp. Allergic reactions can happen with any drug and can range from itching and rash all the way up to a life-threatening anaphylactic reaction. Warfarin used to help the blood clot needs to be measured this is done by taking a blood sample which is sent to the pathology laboratory and the doctor will determine the dosage of warfarin to be given depending on the results, Insulin is also measured depending on the blood glucose levels.
