“Hello, I am Lillian Tudor, and I was married to my high school sweetheart, Earl, for 53 wonderful years. He died 2 years ago and I miss him to this day. Earl and I had three children, two of whom passed before Earl. Our oldest daughter, Leigh, is still helping me around the house and is a blessing to me in my old age. Let me tell you something. Getting old ain’t for sissies! I’m 84 years old as of last month. Leigh had the family meet at a buffet restaurant in town for a surprise party! It was nice to see the grandkids, because they don’t stop by often enough with their busy lives. Lynn, the oldest, has a great husband and two kids with more energy than what seems humanly possible. Leigh complains that they are too loud, but I think everyone else talks too softly these days! In fact, when Leigh comes over to take me to the doctor, she’s always telling me my television is too loud. “I have a lot of doctors who I see. There’s one for my heart and blood pressure who says my cholesterol is too high and wants me to start a new medicine. Another one is for the diabetes, which makes me use those stupid syringes to take insulin. And the last one is for trying to help me with my stiff knees and sore joints. Like I said, getting old ain’t for a sissy! Did I mention the adult briefs I wear to help with my bladder leakage? It’s those dang water pills that I take to keep my feet from swelling so badly. All in all, it’s not a bad life.” In addition to what Lillian has told you, here is a list of her current medications. Captopril 25 mg, three times a day Alprazolam (Xanax) 0.5 mg, by mouth as needed for anxiety Insulin lispro (Humalog) 7 units subcutaneous TID, 15 minutes before meals Tramadol for arthritis pain Furosemide 40 mg, twice per day Ciprofloxacin 250 mg every 12 hours Pilocarpine eye drops, two drops each eye, four times a day Lasix 60 mg, once per day in the morning Select one medication and answer the following questions. If this was a medication order, do you have enough information to safely administer the medication? Please explain your answer and provide the missing information, if any. What is the medication’s classification? Does it have any special considerations about which the nurse should be aware? Why is Lillian taking this medication? If you are unsure based on the information you’ve been given thus far, list common reasons for this medication to be given. Does this medication present any possible adverse interactions with the other medications Lillian is taking? For your first post this week, select one medication and answer all four questions from above.

Review the Case Study below. What suggestions do you have for Sally? What would you do if you were Sally?

Case Study:

Sally hasn’t been feeling well and she decides to share her symptoms on social media. Lately, she has noticed that she has been unusually tired and she doesn’t feel like eating. Over the past few months she has lost several pounds and she is now below her ideal weight. She mentions in her post that she routinely breaks out in hives. In addition, she hasn’t been able to sleep through the night. During her routine physical last year, her doctor told her that she was in great medical condition for her age (19). Much to Sally’s surprise, within just a few minutes of her posting her symptoms she receives multiple messages in her inbox. One in particular catches her attention and she decides to investigate further.

“Hi Sally,

I am sorry to hear that you haven’t been feeling well. I was reading your post carefully and I was intrigued by your symptoms. Your symptoms are very similar to the ones that I was experiencing just over a year ago. About a month ago, one of my friends recommended a fabulous product that has totally eliminated all of my symptoms. I haven’t felt tired and I was able to sleep through the night, which was such a relief. I encourage you to click on my blog link below and read about this fabulous product that really has been a life saver for me. The great news is that you can purchase this product directly through my blog. Hope this helps!”

From what I can tell and what thus far all people with whom Idiscussed this subject confirmed is that time appears to"accelerate" as we age.

Digging a little, most explanations I found basically reducedthis to two reasons:

  • As we age physically, a time frame of constant length becomesever smaller in contrast to the time we spent living
  • As we age socially, we are burdened with an increasing amountof responsibility and thus an increasing influx of informationwhich impairs our perception of the present

To be honest, neither sounds entirely convincing to mebecause:

  • In my perception "local time" (short time frames that I don'teven bother to measure on the scale of my lifetime) is alsoaccelerating. Just as an example: When I wait for the bus, timegoes by reasonably fast as opposed to my childhood tortures ofhaving to wait an eternity for those five minutes to pass.
  • Even after making a great effort to cut myself off from societyand consciously trying to focus on the moment, the perceived speedof time didn't really change. (Although I did have a great time:))

Which leads me to a simple question (and a few corollaries):

  • Am I just in denial of two perfectly plausible and sufficientexplanations, or are there actual biological effects (e.g. changesin brain chemistry) in place, that cause (or at least significantlyinfluence) this?
  • Is there a mechanism, that "stretches out" time for the youngbrain so that weight of an immense boredom forces it to benefitfrom its learning ability, while it "shrinks" time as the brain"matures" and must now act based on what it has learned, whichoften involves a lot of patience?
  • If there is such a mechanism, are there any available means tocounter it? (not sure I'd really want to, but I'd like to knowwhether I could)
