Study Notes

Drug Terminology and Classifications

Drugs can belong to one or more drug classes based on chemical structure, method of action, or purpose.
Drug nomenclature includes chemical/molecular names, generic/non-proprietary names, and brand/trade/proprietary names.
The FDA sets standards for drug control and use, including efficacy, purity, potency, safety, and toxicity.
Drug packages must include a drug information sheet with trade name, generic name, chemical composition, strength, usual dose, indications, contraindications, and reported side effects.
Restraints should be used as a last resort and should not cause harm or punishment. Physical restraints require a physician's order and must include relevant information.
Bed side rails and light safety straps are not considered restraints and are encouraged in general situations.
Immobilization devices in imaging, such as sponges and pads, are not considered restraints and do not require a doctor's order.
Physiological needs of patients include access to water, food, and elimination options.
Patient interactions require good verbal and nonverbal communication, including listening skills, clear language, and a professional attitude.
Therapeutic communication techniques include open-ended questions, acknowledgement and acceptance, use of silence, asking for clarification, active listening, reflecting, and summarizing.
Patients should be addressed with respect and given valid choices when possible, and assumptions should be avoided.
Good patient history taking requires good communication and listening skills, and should provide relevant information for clinical diagnosis.Importance of History Taking in MRI Exams
A good history can provide important clues for the radiologist interpreting the MRI exam.
Radiologists usually do not talk to the patient, so it is up to the MRI technologist to be their eyes and ears.
The general framework for history taking includes the presenting complaint, history of presenting complaint, past medical history, drug history, family history, social history, and systems review.
Details about the presenting complaint may include onset, duration, specific location, quality of pain, and aggravating or alleviating factors.
The history of presenting complaint should include information about investigations, treatments, and referrals already arranged and provided.
Past medical history should cover significant past diseases/illnesses, surgery, complications, and trauma.
Drug history should cover current and past medication use, allergies, and over-the-counter drugs.
Family history should cover parents, siblings, and children, and may be relevant for some diagnoses.
Social history should cover smoking, alcohol, drugs, accommodation, living arrangements, marital status, baseline functioning, occupation, pets, and hobbies, and may not be relevant for all diagnoses.
Systems review should cover the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, gastrointestinal system, nervous system, musculoskeletal system, and genitourinary system.
MRI technologists should use questioning techniques such as open-ended questions, facilitation, silence, reflection or reiteration, clarification or probing, and summarization to obtain a complete history.
A thorough history can help the radiologist make an accurate diagnosis and provide better patient care.
