Study Notes
- Pharmaceutical care plans involve identifying therapy recommendations for various health conditions, including diabetes and cancer.
- For diabetes therapy, recommendations may include oral antidiabetic agents such as sulphonylureas or biguanides, or insulin, with consideration given to dosage, dosing frequency, route of administration, and length of therapy.
- Patient monitoring is a crucial aspect of pharmaceutical care, which includes assessing quantitative and qualitative parameters such as glucose control and quality of life, as well as monitoring for side effects.
- In the case of diabetes, monitoring may involve assessing blood glucose and HbA1c levels, as well as evaluating the onset of side effects from medications such as nausea and hypoglycemic attacks.
- For cancer patients, monitoring may involve using pain scales to assess pain perception, as well as evaluating quality of life and the onset of side effects such as nausea and constipation.
- In a community pharmacy setting, patients with diabetes may participate in monthly consultations with pharmacists, who contribute to their education, clinical assessment, and referral as needed.
- Pharmaceutical care requires integration of clinical pharmacy knowledge with a multidisciplinary approach and is practiced in both primary and secondary care settings.
- Documentation is required in the practice of pharmaceutical care, including patient and medication profiles, laboratory tests, and a pharmaceutical care plan.
- Checks and changes to the pharmaceutical care plan are necessary for quality assurance, with checks involving patient monitoring using clinical cues and changes occurring during plan verification, treatment monitoring, and patient outcomes evaluation.
