Question

This project requires the student to develop an education plan for an individual receiving specific drug therapy. Project Case History Robert is a 62-year-old male who recently retired from an aircraft manufacturing company. He is at the healthcare provider's (HCP) clinic for a follow-up visit. He has a history of diabetes mellitus type 2, hypertension (high blood pressure), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). He stopped smoking 5 years ago but had smoked a pack a day for 35 years. He has been taking metformin (Glucophage) orally twice a day at the maximum dose and long-acting insulin glargine (Lantus) injection at night for the past year for diabetes. His previous Hbg A1c lab values have been high. He also takes metoprolol orally once daily for hypertension and fluticasone/salmeterol (Advair) discus inhaler for COPD. He has used his albuterol metered-dose inhaler (MDI) for rescue several times a week for the past month. After some discussion with Robert, the healthcare provider (HCP) is going to continue the metoprolol for high blood pressure. The HCP is going to change the antidiabetic medication to increase control of diabetes, and change the COPD medication to prevent the need for the rescue inhaler as often.
