Medication B is 2.5 milliliters by mouth three times daily (Fulcher, Fulcher, & Soto, 2012, p. 1b).

If Doris is afraid of mixing her medications, the medical assistant should convert to the unit that Doris is more comfortable with. For example, if Doris prefers milliliters, she should take around 9.8 milliliters of medication A. Alternatively, medication B could be taken at .5 teaspoons (Fulcher, Fulcher, & Soto, 2012, p. 131).

Although much can be said about Depakote’s dismal prospect. The mother with her teenage son informed that if it was not for this medication, her son’s mood would have been intolerable. She stated that because of an adjusted dosage, her son’s mood has been stable and tolerable. Without the Depakote medication, her son would have been unruly, and disrespectful.

The activity that I performed and relates to this outcome is medication reconciliation. I performed this activity in my IPPE-III class as a PS-III student. It was a mandatory activity, which I carried out in workshop in the group of 4 students. In this activity, we were given a patient case, which had list of all the medications that patient was taking and had patient’s demographic information. After reviewing patient’s given information, I had to interview a standardized patient and find out if the patient is taking all the medications as directed by prescriber or not. If patient is taking any other vitamins, herbal or OTC medications that is not on the list and also had to look out for if there is any discrepancy with the medications patient currently on for example, duplicate therapy, drug-drug interaction, incorrect frequency etc.

Adverse reactions to drugs are common and almost any drug can cause an adverse reaction.
