Patient case studies Applied Pharmacology
Analyse this case using a critical thinking approach as outlined below:
Gather, analyse and interpret the relevant medical and pharmacological information the clinician needs before treating this patient. (Assessment)
What are the relevant assumptions you have about this case, and what investigations would you undertake to confirm these assumptions? Would you check the levels of any other electrolytes?
Devise a care plan – what are the possible interventions/drugs that could be used to treat this patient? Consider the implications and consequences of the possible interventions and devise a ‘complete’ care plan (short & long term).
