CASE STUDY:
Patient HL comes into the clinic with the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
The patient has a history of drug abuse and possible Hepatitis C.
HL is currently taking the following prescription drugs:
Synthroid 100 mcg daily
Nifedipine 30 mg daily
Prednisone 10 mg daily
Once the underlying cause is identified, an appropriate drug therapy plan can be recommended based on medical history and individual patient factors. In this Assignment, you examine a case study above of a patient who presents with symptoms of a possible GI/hepatobiliary disorder, and you design an appropriate drug therapy plan.Review the case study above and reflect on the patient s symptoms, medical history, and drugs currently prescribed.Think about a possible diagnosis for the patient. Consider whether the patient has a disorder related to the gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary system or whether the symptoms are the result of a disorder from another system or other factors, such as pregnancy, drugs, or a psychological disorder.Consider an appropriate drug therapy plan based on the patients history, diagnosis, and drugs currently prescribed.
