Application of Change Theory to the Problem of Intravenous Medication Overdose
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses the need for change in a clinical setting regarding intravenous medication overdoses. When a patient is admitted to the hospital and is receiving intravenous drugs, it is clear that he or she is already in a relatively fragile state. To obtain the overall incidence of overdose of intravenously administered medications, it will be necessary to combine the incidence of overdoses occurring while in the hospital plus the incidence of symptoms and/or disease that would have initially required use of the medication. A literature review of the problem is presented as well as a recommendation for instituting a computer-based order system for medications. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

Article Review / Estimating the Tumoral Half-life of Fluorouracil
[ send me this paper ]
5 page explication of a 1994 journal article in which the authors assess the association of intratumoral pharmacokinetics of fluorouracil with clinical response. Built upon was existing research which had established that In-vivo flouring-19 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMRS) facilitates non-invasive, immediate, chemical identification of distinct fluorinated compounds within tumors found in humans after flouorouracil is given. The authors of the discussed study employ kinetic measures of the drug administered as well as metabolies to estimate the tumoral half-life of fluorouracil. No Bibliography.
