Using DI skills helps incorporate
evidence based treatment recommendations
Monitoring includes both
drug safety and efficacy of the drug and disease state
A care plan is incomplete without a ?
follow up plan
What happens at a follow-up visit?
evaluate the positive and negative impact of the care plan
compare current status to patient specific goals
identify new drug therapy problems
address new problems and or adjust previous therapies as needed
Resolved
Therapeutic goals achieved for the acute condition; discontinue therapy
Stable
Therapeutic goals achieved; continue the same therapy for chronic disease management
Improved
Progress is being made in achieving goals; continue the same therapy because more time is required to assess the full benefit of therapy
Partial improvement
Progress is being made, but minor adjustments in therapy are required to fully achieve the therapeutic goals before the next assessment
