NUR 6521 Discussion Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics<\/em><\/p>\n
For few years that I worked at long term care facility, there were constant cases of urinary tract infections. These infections became so high that many of our patients required admission into acute care setting. According to (Wesolek, et, al, 202) UTI is the most common bacterial infection especially in women and it accounts for as high as three million emergency department visits annually. Understanding what urinary tract infection and teaching it to the patients were some of the strategies that we used in order to overcome the so many cases that we had. According to (Rosenthal, et al,2021) explains that pharmacokinetics is the study of drug movement throughout the body which involves processes of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion. While pharmacodynamic is understanding what the drug does to the body which are influenced by gender, ethnicity age and so on. This aspect is very essential in explaining to a patient what the antibiotics that has been prescribed does to the body as well as what to do in terms of adverse reaction and finally why the prescriber ordered the antibiotics for a duration of time. With our patients understanding the basic knowledge of the drug as well as practicing personal hygiene is when we saw the cases of urinary tract infections decrease at our facility. The cases were not 100 percent due to other factors like weak immunity among some patients as well as glitches when it comes to practicing the best hand hygiene possible.<\/p>\n
Nurses played a role in understanding themselves on how the drug works which included monitoring the drugs concentration which were seen when the patient started to see improvement on their symptoms which were achieved by monitoring their vital signs as well as drug concentration in patients\u2019 blood. Also, informing patients\u2019 providers if the route of administration needs changed due to patients\u2019 intolerance to the ordered route of administration. With these plans being put in place with a dedicated nursing staff is when we saw patient\u2019s urinary tract infections cases decrease with patients and nurses understanding more on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the drugs being at their disposal.<\/p>\n
