Discussion

DQ1 The Beer's criteria contain a list of drugs that are potentially unsafe for use in older persons. Go to https://www.sigot.org/allegato_docs/1057_Beers-Criteria.pdf. Select a drug on the "avoid" list that you have administered to an older patient or a drug that you know is prescribed for an older adult. Relate the outcome of using this drug to the pharmacokinetics (absorption, metabolism, distribution, and excretion) of drugs in an older client. In addition to the link, cite one other reference to support your post. DQ2 Many people are using herbal medications and dietary supplements for the prevention and treatment of medical problems. Review two current research articles about two of these products. Based on the findings, what would be the implications for you as a nurse? What additional research needs to be done in this area? Cite the two references to support your answer.
