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.
