Study Notes

Promoting Positive Drug Therapy Outcomes

  • Positive outcomes in drug therapy require a proactive approach, focusing on therapy monitoring, adherence promotion, and patient education.
  • Selecting the right drug is the first step in safe medication therapy. Positive outcomes are ensured by establishing a medication education plan, monitoring patient responses, addressing nonadherence issues, and managing the complete medication regimen.
  • Medication education is crucial for patient commitment. It clarifies medication importance, corrects misinformation, and prevents errors through accurate information and clear guidelines.

Medication Education

  • Patient education should include essential components for any medication.
  • It empowers patients to take medications correctly, reducing errors and promoting adherence.

Medication Education Components

  • Key components for medication education include:
    • Medication name (generic and brand)
    • Purpose
    • Dosing regimen (quantity, frequency, timing)
    • Administration (with/without food, special instructions)
    • Adverse effects (common, temporary, serious)
    • Storage (including special storage requirements like refrigeration)
    • Laboratory testing (including rationale)
    • Food/drug interactions (including how to manage or avoid interactions)
    • Duration of therapy (short-term vs. long-term)

Medication Name

  • Patients need to know the exact medication names (generic and brand).
  • Maintaining a personal medication list, including both names, is helpful, especially for those traveling or seeing multiple providers.

Purpose

  • Understanding why a medication is prescribed improves patient engagement and adherence.
  • Patients are more likely to follow prescribed plans when they know how the medication contributes to therapeutic goals.

Dosing

  • Review the dose with patients, clarifying instructions like quantity, frequency, and timing.
  • Specify instructions, for example, the exact time and frequency to take the medication and what to do if a dose is missed.

Administration

  • Proper administration instructions should address taking medication with/without food, along with specialized instructions for different medications (e.g., suspensions, inhaled drugs, or devices).
  • Patients need clear instructions and demonstrations, especially for medications needing special administration (like inhalers).

Adverse Effects

  • Focus on common, temporary adverse effects to avoid undue anxiety.
  • Prioritize common, temporary side effects (e.g., nausea, sedation), rather than rare or severe ones.
  • Highlight benefits of therapy versus potential risks.
  • Emphasize that most adverse effects are temporary. The patient's right to know about risks should be acknowledged.

Storage

  • Some medications require specific storage (e.g., refrigeration, original container).
  • Incorrect storage can lead to drug degradation and loss of potency.

Laboratory Testing

  • Necessary to monitor medication safety and efficacy.
  • Explain “why” testing is needed to improve patient adherence. Teaching the “what, when, where, why, and how” of testing is ideal.

Food/Drug Interactions

  • Medications can interact with foods and other drugs, including alcohol.
  • Patients need to be informed about potential interactions and how to avoid complications.

Duration of Therapy

  • Inform patients about the expected duration of therapy (short-term or long-term).
  • Prevent premature discontinuation of necessary medications.

Written Instructions

  • Provide written instructions, supplemented by verbal explanation, for patients who may have literacy or visual impairments.
  • Written instructions are important for a permanent record and better understanding. Videos or audio can be beneficial for specific needs, emphasizing health literacy, which greatly improves understanding of medication instructions.

Monitoring

  • Ongoing monitoring of positive and negative responses is essential to optimize outcomes.
  • Three reasons for medication monitoring: determining therapeutic dosage, evaluating medication adequacy, and identifying adverse effects.

Determining Therapeutic Dosage

  • Drugs with narrow therapeutic indexes (NTIs) need more careful monitoring of serum drug levels.
  • Frequent monitoring, and adjusting the dosage, can prevent harmful outcomes.
  • Serum levels and other metrics (e.g., PT/INR for warfarin) determine optimal dosage.

Evaluating Medication Adequacy

  • Effectiveness assessment can be straightforward for certain medications (e.g., pain relief).
  • Useful for conditions with subtle symptoms (e.g., hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia). Lab testing is crucial to quantify impacts

Identifying Adverse Effects

  • Proactive monitoring helps detect potential harm early.
  • Follow-up testing is guided by the types of adverse effects expected (e.g., liver enzymes, complete blood count).

Adherence

  • Non-adherence is a costly issue, resulting in high healthcare costs.

  • Addressing different reasons for non-adherence (forgetfulness, lack of planning, cost, dissatisfaction, altered dosing) is essential. Individualized solutions are key.

  • Non-adherence frequently stems from forgetting/lack of planning; some commonly cited issues are; cost, the impact of drug side effects, belief that medication is ineffective, and feeling that it’s poorly managed.

  • Highlight specific strategies like drug organizers, reminder apps, or personalized medication administration records (MARs) to address the problem of forgetfulness or lack of planning.

  • Cost issues can be addressed by using generics, formulary drugs, or pharmaceutical assistance programs (PAPs).

  • Dissatisfaction warrants further exploration.

  • Factors affecting medication adherence include forgetfulness, planning difficulty, cost, dissatisfaction with therapy or adverse medication effects, and altered dosing.

Managing Medication Therapy

  • Regularly review each medication, including its efficacy, necessity, and potential risks versus benefits, at least annually.
  • Ask critical questions to assess each medication's benefit, necessity, and potential risks related to patient's condition.
  • Optimizing patient regimens may involve eliminating, adding or adjusting medication use.

Additional Points From New Text

  • Medications need to be reviewed at each patient encounter and periodically, for comprehensive care
  • Patients should be educated on the use of each medication for proper care.
  • The concept of "compliance" has been superseded by "adherence".
  • Adherence considers patient preferences and is a collaborative decision-making approach.
  • Explicitly including what "the patient agreed to" distinguishes this practice of ensuring medication is taken as directed from the practice of "compliance".
