Exercise 9
You are working in a physician's office where a patient with diabetes is having difficulty with blood glucose control. The physician discovers that the patient, who has trouble swallowing, has been crushing Glucotrol XL tablets. Because this sustained-release medication should not be crushed, the patient has been receiving too much medication at one time. You realize that this problem could occur with any patient who is taking a sustained-release medication.
Assignment: Search the Internet for patient education materials warning patients about crushing medications.
Suggested key words: medication + crushing; medication + swallowing; pills + swallowing
