Transcript: Drug Prescriptions Chloe Blood Introduction Introduction Healthcare providers over prescribed opioids to the patients, didn't give all of the information about the drugs , and didn't have the patient’s long term interest. To better the lives of abusers and prescribers, it would be best to evaluate the patients before giving the opioids to avoid any problems. It would also help to regulate the patients’ prescriptions and educate them more on the risks and what exactly they are taking. Title Problems Misinformation Many prescribers are do not know the appropriate use of opioids for treating pain Mistreatment Doctors are not prescribing the right amount of pain killers Addiction / Overdoses prescription painkiller overdoses killed about 15,000 in 2008 Addiction affects 16% of the U.S. Overuse Opioids are the most commonly prescribed medicine Problems Solutions Paying Attention Evaluating the real pain of a patient may make it easier to treat them Regulation Several states have begun to regulate how opioids are prescribed Being Informed Real life has shown that putting out proper information about drugs and what they can do to people has helped with addiction Solutions Conclusion Conclusion Doctors that mistreat patients and misinform them of the opioids will likely lead them to overuse, addiction, and overdose. This is an important issue because every prescriber needs understand that they have a responsibility to their patients to give them the best care possible; leading a person into addiction is completely harmful to their lives and should be taken under consideration.

Prescription Drug

Transcript: Education Plan in Action Opioids are prescribed to people suffering with chronic pain and temporary severe pain. Prescription has increased ten fold in the last twenty years. Opioids target the same brain receptors as heroin, causing a euphoria. The highly addictive nature of opioids causes users to progress to stronger and stronger drugs to chase the same high. An instructor within each school will be assigned or volunteer to head the course. The class will be held over a weeks time each semester. These class will be held no longer than 30 minutes and be conducted in groups. There will be a cooperative time slot provided for a professional in painkiller addiction to speak to students. Students will be provided with literature to take with them. A survey will be asked at the end of each semester. Red flags to look out for are mood swings, social isolation, stealing, and increased doctor visits. Most common between the ages of 12-25. Typically introduced to the body through crushing and snorting pills for a quicker high. Reasons for seeking out prescription may include; easy access, not considered illegal, cheap, readily excused, fewer side effects, study aids. Warning signs of Addiction Measures Being Made for Prevention Abuse is hard to detect because the symptoms vary from person to person. Physical symptoms are constipation, nausea, vomiting, seizures, slurred speech, constricted pupils, heart, problems, coma, and death. Psychological effects are depression, anxiety, and psychosis Sources For Concern Many doctors readily or over prescribe painkillers to avoid return visits from disgruntled patience. Because of the human bodies natural adaptability the dosage of painkillers over time must be increased to continue it's effectiveness. Over half of illegally obtained prescriptions are given free from a friend or relative, these are typically unused or unfinished prescriptions. The US is only %5 of the worlds population but consume %75 of the worlds prescription drugs Prescription Abuse and False Perception by society The Prescription Source A countrywide program aimed at informing young men and women who are at high risk for addiction. The hope is that additional knowledge will shift attention towards supporting doctors that are unwilling to provide excessive amounts of prescription. We aim to track set groups of students through their high school career to measure the results of the intervention. There are current protocols in place to determine the maximum dosage allowed for each patient based on their current condition, body type, and medical history. Special training is required for doctors before they can prescribe certain drugs. There is a national database that tracks current prescribed nartotics, the prescribing doctor, how many refills have been given and are left, along with an expected refill date Effects on the Body The goal is to create a learning environment that middle school and high school students can become more aware of the dangers of addiction. Weekly goals with a focus for each learning session ranging from known effects to ways that the effected can seek help. There would also be a focus on the polices regarding the legality and correct usage of painkillers. The hope is that students will continue to spread the message to others.
