Scenario below: Advanced knowledge of pharmacotherapeutics is essential for an advanced practice nurse. The patient’s age, genetics, and metabolism are a few factors that influence how the patient may respond to the medication. When planning care for any patient population, understanding pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics is a critical component in effectively developing a patient-focused drug therapy

plan. Pharmacokinetics is the study of drug movement throughout the body, and this includes how the drug is absorbed, metabolized, distributed, and excreted. Pharmacodynamics is how the body responds to the drug and the mechanisms of their actions (Rosenthal & Burchum, 2018). Description of the Patient Case James was a 69 year-old African- American male, escorted into the emergency department (ED) by police for acute psychosis and manic behavior. James was picked up off the streets, handcuffed, and appeared to be homeless. The initial assessment of James was extremely agitated, combative, hyperverbal, and was hallucinating as well.

The ordering physician ordered a combination medication of Lorazepam, Haldol, and Benadryl. After receiving the IM injection, James appeared to be more relaxed and less aggressive; he was placed on direct observation and assigned a safety companion. An hour after being medicated, his behavior escalated, and restraints were used due to his increasing agitation and combative behavior. James’s case is unique because, at the time that he presented to the

ED, the staff or the police were aware of his medical history. Searching in the belongings, I was able to find a phone number. James was an Alzheimer’s (AD) patient that manage to hitchhike from Chicago. James was reported missing six months before showing up in Florida. The patient was in a locked unit but managed to elope in hopes of finding his wife, whom he buried in Sarasota. The kidneys excrete most medications; pharmacokinetics in patients sixty-five or older is altered by the loss of kidney function (Aymanns, Keller, Maus, Hartman & Czock, 2010; Rosenthal & Burchum, 2018). Due to the complexity of comorbidities, polypharmacy, and age related changes in liver/kidneys, pharmacotherapy is challenging, and drug interactions or toxicity can occur ( Boparai & Korc-Grodzicki, 2011). The personalized plan of care for James would be a modified confusion assessment method (mCAM-ED) and a reality orientation. Behavioral symptoms change and evolve throughout dementia; agitation, restlessness, and hallucinations are frequent in these patients,

reduction in agitation rather than sedation is a goal of treatment in most cases ( Casey, 2015). Instead of using Lorazepam, the first drug of choice would be Haldol, which has a shorter halflife, causes less sedation, respiratory depression, and has minimal effects on BP (Calver & Isbister, 2013).
