What is a concept map? 

A concept map is a visual representation of an overarching topic and the relationships between individual ideas, images, or words that lend themselves to the larger picture. Using designated shapes, as well as labeled lines and arrows, concept maps can depict cause and effect, requirements, and contributions between items. Concept maps are ideal for developing logical thinking, dissecting complex systems, and contextualizing specific ideas within larger topics. Source: Lucidspark.

  Safety in Drug Administration

 Case Study:  You are preparing to discharge a 43-year-old male patient who has received treatment for a fracture of the right tibia. You provide the patient with a prescription for a narcotic analgesic to be used as needed for pain, along with information about the medication. The patient states, “ I don’t need the prescription. My cousin just had surgery and didn’t take all of his pain medicine. I can just use his. That will be cheaper for me, anyway, since I don’t have insurance.” 

Instructions:

1. Read the Case Study above.

2. Then, re-read Chapter 1, then answer the following questions below:

a. Discuss the legal and therapeutic implications related to the patient taking narcotic analgesics that have been prescribed for another person.

· With these implications in mind, how should you respond to the patient?

b. How should you respond to the patient’s concern about the cost of his medication?

3. Your post should:

3. Be at least 140 words.

3. Include at least one (1) reference to support your answers.

  Medication Orders

 Case Study:  You are working at a long-term care facility and have been appointed to serve on a new committee. The purpose of the committee is to improve medication safety in the facility. Currently, the medication orders are handwritten in each patient’s chart. The orders are then sent to the pharmacy via fax. The nurses copy the medication orders by hand onto the medication administration record (MAR). The facility does not use barcoding or computer-generated MARs. Medications are supplied from the pharmacy in bulk rather than in unit dose.” 

Instructions:

1. Read the Case Study above.

2. Then, re-read Chapter 3, then answer the following questions below:

a. Discuss the potential for medication errors in the current system. What processes are in place that could make medication errors more likely to occur?

b. Develop suggested solutions for each of the process issues identified.

a. What additional suggestions for improving medication safety can you identify?

c. What would be the potential advantages and disadvantages of implementing a barcoding system in this facility?

3. Your post should:

3. Be at least 140 words.

3. Include at least one (1) reference to support your answers.

. Reference(s) must follow  APA guidelinesLinks to an external site. .

4. Read and respond to at least one (1) class

Lesson 2 Discussion

A woman has just been diagnosed with breast cancer. Her doctor tells her that while cancer is a multifactorial disease, she carries the breast cancer susceptibility gene, BRCA1. One of her two identical twin 19-year-old daughters is afraid that she also may have inherited the gene (Chapter 4, Learning Objective 2, 3, 8).

1. What considerations would you give her daughter who is worried about inheriting the cancer gene?

2. What ethical issues are raised when one identical twin wants to know her genetic susceptibility to a disease and other does not?

Instructions:
