Patient Education: OTC Medications

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to explore over-the-counter (OTC) medications for HEENT symptom management. This assignment will allow for discovery into commonly used OTC agents and associated patient education points required for the safe, effective use of these agents. Formulation of a patient-education infographic supports professional formation, communication, and dissemination skills relevant to the FNP.

Course Outcomes

This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes:

CO 1: Select appropriate medications according to patient presentation and unique patient factors. (POs 1, 2)

CO 2: Analyze factors pertinent to making the most effective drug selection for a client with a specific diagnosis in the primary care setting. (POs 1, 2)

CO 3: Analyze client indicators of therapeutic, ineffective, adverse responses and side effects to drug therapy. (POs 1, 2)

CO 6: Analyze whether pharmacologic therapy is appropriate for individual patients. (POs 1, 2)

Preparing the Assignment

Follow these guidelines when completing each component of the assignment. Contact your course faculty if you have questions.

Use Canva.com (Links to an external site.) or another infographic development to design a patient teaching aid about OTC treatments for colds and cough. Use PO drugs only.

Include the following required six sections. You do not have to use these exact words for headings, but they should be labeled to identify the intended topic.

What OTC drugs (active ingredients) are available to treat the following common cold and cough symptoms?

Nasal decongestants

Cough suppressants

Expectorants

Antihistamines

Pain relievers

What is the recommended dose and frequency for each generic drug (active ingredient)?

How do I know which one to take?

How do I know which OTC medications are safe to take with others?

When should I stop taking the OTC medication selected?

When should I see my healthcare provider?

Format

Readability

Lay language for patients rather than professional language

Creativity

Use of graphics, images, etc.

Use PO drugs only

References & Participation

References used should be noted at the bottom of your infographic in a smaller font as not to distract from information provided but also validating the information came from a reliable source within the last 5 years.

References should be from either your textbook or a professional source such as American Gastroenterological Association, Prescriber’s Desk Reference, etc.

References should not be from sources such as MayoClinic, WebMD, etc.

Additionally, avoid use of journal articles for this assignment as you are looking for a more global consensus than that of one journal article.

Student provides a response to at least one topic-related post of a peer.

Student responds to all direct faculty questions OR if student was not asked a direct question student responds to either a 2nd peer post or a faculty question directed towards another student.

Screenshot

Provide a screenshot of your completed infographic.

Highlight the date the infographic was created (see example in image).

The infographic submitted must match the screenshot submitted with the assignment.

The date the infographic is created must coincide with the session in which it is submitted.

Submit your infographic and screenshot to the course discussion board by Wednesday 11:59 PM MT.

You must submit the infographic itself (not a screenshot of the infographic) and the screenshot showing the completion date each as their own file. Each can be either a PDF, JPG, or DOCX – but each must be its own separate file. 

Subsequent posts, including substantive responses to peer(s) and faculty questions, must occur by Sunday, 11:59 PM MT. A total of three substantive posts are required on two different days.

Provide an evidence-based rationale for each of your answers to the five (5) questions. 

Provide a citation and matching reference is required from the course textbook for each of the five (5) rationales. 

Provide one evidence-based learning point related to the quiz questions.  Provide a current (within 5 years) citation and matching reference.  Sources may include course textbook, professional organizations, clinical practice guidelines, research studies, etc. 

3.  Respond to the peer who provided answers to your five (5) quiz-type questions.  If more than one peer responded to your questions, you only have to answer one (the first one preferably). 

Identify the number of s to the five (5) quiz-type questions. 

Provide an evidence-based rationale for any ins as you explain the . 

Include a citation and reference for the  from the assigned textbook for the course.
