I chose a patient who is currently taking 4 medications. This patient was prescribed 2 of the medications, and takes 2 others over the counter. When observing this patient’s medication reconciliation record that I personally created, I made my patient’s safety a priority. Therefore, I focused on all aspects of the medications that could potentially harm the patient. At the beginning of this project, I struggled in finding safety concerns for this patient. I noticed that there were no interactions between drugs. Therefore I instead focused on potential interactions with foods that could affect the absorption. Another concern would be intaking the prescribed doses of medication. If the dosages were altered, the therapeutic effect would be altered as well. Lastly, this patient should be on the look out for potential adverse effects. For example, our patient is taking a statin, which is known to have an adverse effect of muscle pain. If muscle pain does occur, we would want to take this patient off of the medication immediately because it is harming the body. This patient has stated that they have been taking this particular medication for a while, with no muscle pain, so they should remain a good candidate for this prescription. These were the main safety concerns that I had for this particular patient. This patient was responsible for intaking their medication. I ensured to ask them if they know exactly what their medication was, and why they were taking their medications for that reason. I am overall confident that this patient is knowledgeable about their medication information, after reviewing their medication list with them. Overall, the risks for this patient is minimal because they medically literate with their personal care plan, and their drugs are fairly safe to take as long as the patient continues to be conscious of their everyday decisions. Therefore, I believe that this drug plan is safe for this patient.
