Document Summary

Phrm4012 integrated patient centered care 2 (week 6 tutorial) (30/08/2019, friday: male customer came into pharmacy, asking for worm treatment for his 3 years old son. Pharmacist asked for symptoms, any travelling, any visit to childcare centre or school. Customer said his son was scratching his bottom and did not go to anywhere. Then she asked for symptoms in the past and number of family members (4 members). Customer said that his son did have symptoms in the past and previously he was treated with combantrin. Male customer has coeliac disease, his wife is pregnant for 4 months, another son is 18 months. Pharmacist asked the customer to consult the doctor if his wife can take the pyranthel. It seems to be safe for his wife to take pyrantel because she is already pregnant for 4 months (normally if too early in pregnancy, perhaps she cannot use it) but still need to consult a doctor.

Ch. 10 Case Study: Hospital Tests Babies Al and Victoria are in their early 30s and had been married for 5 years when their first child was born. Victoriaâs pregnancy was perfectly normal, and she had continued working until one week before the babyâs birth. She had never felt better. At birth, Al and Victoriaâs son appeared perfectly normal. A few days after they took the baby home, the doctor called to say that the baby needed more tests. He asked that both parents come to them office visit because he wanted to talk to them. In his office the doctor said that a blood test done in the hospital showed that their child had a genetic disorder called phenylketonuria (PKU). If their child was not treated using a special diet, he would become mentally retarded. Al and Victoria had never heard of PKU and this news upset them. They immediately called around to family members and found that only a few relatives on either side of the family had ever heard of PKU, and none knew of any family member with the disorder. Al and Victoria wondered how a genetic disease that no one in their family had could suddenly appear in their child. They made an appointment for another visit with the doctor, and in the meantime began reading about PKU. 1. Why was Al and Victoriaâs baby tested for PKU in the first place? 2. Neither Al nor Victoriaâs family has a history of PKU. Should Al and Victoriaâs baby have been tested at all? Explain. 3. Should Al and Victoria have the right to refuse this testing for their child? Why or why not? 4. PKU is a treatable genetic disorder. Affected children must follow a strict diet that prevents many of the conditionâs symptoms. Does this information change your opinion about testing the baby? 5. Testing newborn for PKU is done in every US state; some states offer more extensive testing for newborns. Al and Victoria live in one of these states. Should they have been notified of the testing? Why or why not?
