Rehabilitation specialists will often treat patients taking some form of GI agent. These medications are commonly used by the general public, as well as by hospitalized individuals and outpatients receiving physical therapy and occupational therapy. Although the direct impact of most GI drugs on physical rehabilitation is relatively small, an understanding of how... 

Hospitalized means admitted to a medical facility, not treated and released from a facility, such as a hospital emergency room, where the person was never admitted to the hospital proper. Non-hospitalized individuals are those who may have received attention from medical personnel on-site or at a facility (including hospital emergency room), but were not admitted to a medical facility. Indicate the number of injured employees, emergency responders (firefighters, police, medics, etc.) and members of the general public.

A hospital CEO cannot know all the employees in her hospital individually. A busy physician may not have the time to get to know her patients personally. However, they both can muster sufficient empathy to be acutely aware of and respectful of patients and employees humanity that every one of them is an individual who, like herself, experiences life as intrinsically valuable. 

Intrinsic asthma, also called idiopathic asthma, usually develops in adulthood. In intrinsic asthma allergic factors are not demonstrable. Episodes of intrinsic asthma may be triggered by a variety of stimuli, eg, emotional state, exposure to cold air, or inert dusts. Both intrinsic and extrinsic asthmatics can be prone to exercise-induced attacks. Individuals who experience a combination of extrinsic and intrinsic asthmatic reactions have mixed asthma. Status asthmaticus refers to an especially acute life-threatening asthma attack which is resistant to normal treatments and which may require hospitalization in order to stabilize the patient.

Patients with massive helminth infections may or may not be acutely ill. The acutely ill patient requires hospitalization, but many individuals with helminth infections can be treated on an outpatient basis. 

Maintenance therapy is designed to reduce the patient s desire to return to the drug that caused addiction, as well as to prevent withdrawal symptoms. The dosses used vary with the patient, die length of time die individual has been addicted, and the averse amount of drug used each day. Fhtients enrolled in an outpatient methadone program for detoxification or maintenance therapy on methadone must continue to receive methadone when hospitalized. 

In addition, if possible, die nurse obtains a history of any past drug or alcohol abuse. Individuals with a history of previous abuse are more likely to abuse odier drug s, such as the antianxiety drug s. Some patients, such as diose with mild anxiety or depression, do not necessarily require inpatient care. These patients are usually seen at periodic intervals in die primary health care provider s office or in a psychiatric outpatient setting. The preadministration assessments of the outpatient are the same as diose for the hospitalized patient. 

When die patient is hospitalized, the nurse develops a nursing care plan to meet the patient s individual needs. Vital signs are monitored at frequent intervals, usually 3 to 4 times daily. In some instances, such as when hypotensive episodes occur, the vital signs are taken more often. The nurse reports any significant change in the vital signs to the primary healdi care provider. 

About 4.5 million Americans have heart failure (HF). It is the most frequent cause of hospitalization for individuals older than 65 years. Some patients, with treatment, may lead nearly normal lives, whereas more than 50% of individuals with severe HF die each year. HF is a complex clinical syndrome that can result from any number of cardiac or metabolic disorders such as ischemic heart disease, hypertension, or hyperthyroidism. Any condition that impairs the ability of the ventricle to pump blood can lead to HF In HF, die heart... 

In many individuals, hyperlipidemia has no symptoms and the disorder is not discovered until laboratory tests reveal elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels, elevated LDL levels, and decreased HDL levels. Often, these drags are initially prescribed on an outpatient basis, but initial administration may occur in the hospitalized patient. Seram cholesterol levels (ie, a lipid profile) and liver functions tests are obtained before the drugs are administered. 

Before administering the first dose of warfarin, die nurse questions the patient about all drags taken during the previous 2 to 3 weeks (if the patient was recendy admitted to the hospital). If the patient took any drug before admission, the nurse notifies the primary healdi care provider before the first dose is administered. Usually, the prothrombin time (PT) is ordered and die international normalized ratio (INR) determined before tiierapy is started. The first dose of warfarin is not given until blood for a baseline PT/ INR is drawn. The dosage is individualized based on die results of the PT or die INR.

The indigenous microbial population is quite different in the home and in hospitals. Pathogenic organisms are found much more frequently in the latter and consequently are isolated more often from medicines used in hospital. Usually, there are fewer opportunities for contamination in the home, as patients are generally issued with individual supplies in small quantities. 

All inpatients admitted through the hospital emergency room over a 15-month period (June 1982 through August 1983) had urine samples collected in the emergency room for later PCP assay. This represented 1,550 admissions of 1,384 individual patients, but did not include all hospital inpatients (1.e., excluded those who were admitted from outpatient status). PCP was detected in the urine of 16.5 percent (255) of the total admissions and 15.5 percent (215) of individual patients. In the vast majority of cases, the PCP levels were low (less than 30 ng/ml in 85.0 percent). 

Managing viral hepatitis involves both prevention and treatment. Prevention of hepatitis A and B (and indirectly for hepatitis D) can be achieved with immune globulin or vaccines. There is no specific pharmacologic treatment for acute viral hepatitis A, B, C, D, or E only supportive care is available. Individuals with mild to moderate symptoms rarely require hospitalization. Occasionally, hospitalization is required in individuals experiencing significant nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and encephalopathy. Liver transplantation may be required in rare instances if fulminant hepatitis develops. 

Between 5% and 25% of all hospitalized patients develop ARF.2 A greater prevalence of ARF is found in critically ill patients.3 Despite improvements in the medical care of individuals with ARF, mortality generally exceeds 50%.4... 

Splenectomy generally is considered after 3 to 6 months if the patient continues to require 10 to 20 mg/day of prednisone to keep the platelet count greater than 30,000/mm3 (30 x 103/jliL or 30 X 109/L) or within 6 weeks of diagnosis in patients with platelet counts of less than 10,000/mm3 (10 x 103/ju,L or 10 x 109/L) despite treatment. Even though individual patient response cannot be predicted, approximately two-thirds of refractory patients have a favorable response to splenectomy within a couple of days. After splenectomy, approximately 85% of adults attain a stable hemostatic response, and 70% to 80% of children attain complete remission. Within 5 to 10 years, approximately 25% of responding adult patients relapse. Laproscopic splenectomy is preferable to open splenectomy because it speeds the recovery and shortens the duration of hospitalization. The major drawback of splenectomy is bacterial sepsis, occurring at incidence rates of about 1%.
