Alcohol consumption can be detected by using blood and urine indicators. Since blood and urine tests only detect usage up to a few hours, doctors have to give patients routine checks.

In addition, doctors look for any appearances of slow growth both prenatal and postnatal.
It also discusses the types of opioids like synthetic opioids and semi- synthetic opioids. This article explains where opium came from and how it was used and abused way before they used it to make modern day pain pills. They also go over the legal history of opioids up to how we got to where we are today. This article is a factual document written by a medical doctor about opium. This research offers people information on how we got to where we are today gives an insight to what we could have done to change or prevent to the problems that we are dealing with in modern day.
I never knew all the different types of treatments and therapy that my friend went through before she passed way in 2005, until I read more about it for my paper. While researching all this information I really wish the newer drug Kalydeco was approved while my friend was still alive. Even with some of the common side effects I really believe my friend would be still here today and would have lived passed 37. Overall, I really enjoyed looking up this information and writing this paper I feel I know a little more about this disease and understand the different symptoms as well. References Lauren B.

Although most of these pills were prescribed for a medical purpose, many ended up in the hands of people who misused or abused them. First and foremost, prescribers and physicians should be subject to mandatory education and training on proper prescription practices and on the nature of addiction. For an example, methadone and oxycodone are very different drugs, yet they are often prescribed interchangeably, leading to unintentional overdose. The Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMPs) should also be used. These are state-run electronic databases used to track the prescribing and dispensing of controlled prescription drugs to patients.
The first stage of Gibbs (1988) model of reflection requires the description of events. I was asked to administer a drug to a patient via subcut injection. I observed this clinical skill on a variety of occasions, by qualified nursing staff. This was my first time administrating a subcut injection; I was under supervision from a qualified nurse. The drug itself was in a pre-filled syringe needle.
By examining previous information on studies about multiple sclerosis, the author then continued to use the information as building blocks for his research and why it would be important to further study the areas he is inquiring about. The author uses a reference to establish the amount of people living with this phenomenon and then continues to cite information on how the variety of the disease affects different people saying why and how the experiment would be important. An overwhelming majority of the author’s references were older than five years (Approximately 22 of 23). The author did inform the reader about the limitations of the study by stating “candidates for this study were recruited by open recruitment to respect the free will of patients in participating,” while also informing how future studies could be done to help remedy these practices. Overall the study did not use references to as a central point since it was more of a background on how the author would continue to move forward and the literature review of the article was rather
To be in this study patients had to have at least one manic or hypo manic moment with in the year the study was conducted. This study was a mirror of a smaller study that was done before. The trial started by testing patients by giving some of them omega-3 fatty acids and some of them a placebo. The patients did not know which one they were getting. They even masked the placebo with a fishy taste so they would not be able to tell which one they were getting.
Personal Impact Video on Type I Diabetes Angeline Canella NUR 427 Aug. 18th, 2015 University of Phoenix Professor Karen Rousseau Personal Impact Video on Type I Diabetes According to the “American Diabetes Association” (2015), Type I diabetes is usually diagnosed in childhood or early teens, but can occur at any age. It is also referred to as juvenile diabetes. A patient that has type I diabetes, the pancreases produces little of no insulin that results in a fluctuation where the body cannot function properly.

The information one learns while in school is going to change in a couple of years. One example Patrick game me was about the use of iodine or alcohol swabs when starting an IV. A couple of years ago, in order to start an IV you would clean a patients arm with an alcohol swab in a circular motion inside out to minimize the risk of infection. In light of new research, the use of iodine or alcohol is no longer implemented as an antiseptic. Research data indicates that the use of chlorhexidine is a more potent antiseptic and is used widely as of right now.
I decided to read an article titled Clinical Inquiries: Does exercise alleviate symptoms of depression? published in The Journal Of Family Practice. This article is authoritative because it was written by Allan Gil and Rosalyn Womack, residents in the University Department of Medicine and Sarah Safranek, a librarian at the University Health Sciences Library and published in a peer review journal. The article is also current, having been published in 2010. The
