For this week’s discussion I would like you to choose two of the following prompts to respond of the four below and respond to at least one classmate:
1. Describe an indication for oral or topical anti-fungals and which product you would chose? What teaching would need to go along with that?
2. The overuse of antibiotics has lead to resistant bacteria and has narrowed our options for certain infections. Find an article that describes this problem in the literature and summarize for the class.
3. We are approaching cold and flu season. Many people will be coming in with cold symptoms wanting to be treated. Describe what advice and treatment you would offer depending on different exam findings and patient history. How will you handle requests for antibiotics for viral illness? What will you say?
4. Explain your personal philosophy regarding children’s immunizations. How would you counsel parents who do not want to vaccinate their children.
As always back up with references, but I also like hearing your personal stories and viewpoints. It makes the class more interesting for everyone!
