The document outlines a 3 step workflow for ordering restricted antimicrobials: Step 1 involves justifying the indication based on clinical history, symptoms, and risk of complications. Cultures and investigations are obtained to rule out infection. Step 2 requires prescribing the first dose and getting approval by filling out a restricted antimicrobial form and obtaining unit head or department head approval. The form is then submitted to the pharmacy. Step 3 involves reviewing the case as more information becomes available and deciding whether to continue, stop, or de-escalate the restricted antimicrobial based on the evolving clinical picture and additional test results.

To clarify:
a sepsis pathway is a document that guides sepsis recognition and management. This include the
‘sepsis bundle’
the sepsis bundle of care is the six key clinical actions to take within 60 minutes of sepsis
recognition. These are:
– oxygen administration
– two sets of blood cultures
– venous blood lactate
– fluid resuscitation
– appropriate antibiotics
– monitoring observations.
WHEN TO INITIATE THE PATHWAY
The primary focus for sepsis should always be early recognition and prompt treatment.
Sepsis recognition criteria
Sepsis pathway initiation is guided by the presence of infection and abnormal vital signs.
The sepsis recognition criteria are based on the following indicators:
Early warning signs – Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS)7,8,9,10
Poor outcomes (severe sepsis) – quick Sepsis Related Organ Failure (qSOFA) score and lactate
level4,5,6

It discusses proper patient identification procedures, guidelines for verbal and telephone orders, procedures for high alert medications, surgical checklists including site marking and time outs, hand hygiene practices, fall risk assessment and prevention measures, occurrence variance reporting for documenting incidents, and the focus-PDCA methodology for quality improvement. Key areas of focus include correctly identifying patients, improving communication, ensuring surgery and medication safety, reducing healthcare associated infections and patient harm from falls.
Documentation
Nurses document patient care in the electronic medical record system. Documentation includes assessments, interventions, patient responses, medication administration, education provided, and routine checks. Physical assessments are done within 8 hours of admission and every shift, with problems addressed in the problem list. Orders are dated, timed, and read back to ensure accuracy. The problem list guides care and is updated as goals are met or conditions change.
Progress notes
The document provides information on progress notes including:
- Progress notes are used to document a patient's clinical status and progress over time during hospitalization or outpatient care.
- They serve to communicate findings between healthcare professionals and allow retrospective review of a patient's case.
- Progress notes are intended to be concise and provide communication about a patient's condition to those accessing their health record. Physicians and nurses are generally required to generate progress notes on a regular basis.
PHARCOVIGILANCE
This document discusses pharmacovigilance in clinical trials, which involves monitoring the safety of medicines being tested. It outlines the responsibilities of various stakeholders like sponsors, investigators, and regulators in pharmacovigilance activities like adverse event reporting, risk assessment, and safety monitoring. Key aspects covered are the protocol guidance for safety reporting, use of case report forms and investigator brochures to document adverse drug reactions, and management of safety issues that arise during trials.

In humans, immature flukes migrate through the liver before maturing in the bile ducts. Early infection may cause nonspecific symptoms, while later chronic infection can lead to inflammation of the bile ducts or gallbladder. Diagnosis is made by detecting eggs in stool or bile, though antibodies can be detected earlier. Treatment involves triclabendazole. Prevention focuses on snail control and vaccinating animals.

Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptx
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.
