Can someone tell what these drugs do?

markjrn · Jul 24, 2005

it's not a matter of being 'nice.' part of the college experience is looking things up in reliable resources.

I agree - it's all part of learning. Having someone feed me answers wouldn't have done me any favors when I was in school.

Oh come on, unless you are looking at drug book published back when M.A.S.H. was playing they are in any well nationally recognized drug book.
BTW, wouldn't it be nice if they would come out with a M.A.S.H reunion?

Sometime before everyone dies. :)

Back to topic. I know that people have helped you out, but it might help you out to have the proper spelling of the drugs. Looks like someone has helped you out with that, too.

Fentanyl is available in transdermal patches as well...

As the Duragesic patch.

At AllNurses we try to answer respectfully to each other even if we feel that there needs to be some redirection.

...and in a lolipop lozenge form...still not an option with propofol, though, but wouldn't all those people devour them after being NPO! Imagine "propo-pops" in coffee flavor:chuckle

of course Marie was right...some drugs that rarely make it out of the OR don't show up in the drug books that tend to cater to the MedSurg nurse Milenko's instructor sounds pretty thorough...You're in an EN program, right? Good Luck!

I agree, To many times older nurses as well as young ones tend to be mean to the nubies. I myself enjoy teaching, it is such a pleasure to see the "light bulb"

come on when you feed them info that makes something click. Drugs are such an important aspect of nursing and one in which as a group we can all make a difference. You would be suprised at how many seasoned nurses do not know the chemical makeup what the contraindications, and just the safe use of the drug in general are. (scary) but that is what team work is all about. Good luck in school. Glenda

Oh, come on, we had to get rid of certain books at work that were a year old that didn't have those drugs IN them. :uhoh3:

Jeez...

I don't think people were being disrespectful, I think they were merely responding in the same manner the OP asked. Posting a general question without letting us know where you're coming from won't get you very far. I'm sure many would be glad to answer the questions this nursing student had asked, had they been asked respectfully also.

Interesting to describe a paralytic as a "muscle relaxant." If I were a member of the lay public I'd like a little more fact and a little less glossing over.
