Mastering pharmacy case studies.

pharmacy case studies

Introduction

If you are training to become a pharmacist, you will have had experience with pharmacy case studies. But why are pharmacy case studies so important?

As a qualifying pharmacist, case studies bring together the threads of study over the past four years. This includes your study of subjects such as:

  • Pharmacology
  • Pharmaceutical chemistry
  • Pharmaceutics
  • Clinical pharmacy practice

In practice, pharmacists are expected to draw on this knowledge and clinically apply it where necessary. These subjects feed into one another where knowledge of one subject became necessary to advance in a second subject and so forth. University staff overseeing the course structure put that structure together with these factors in mind. Pharmacy case studies are an important component, often toward the end of your pharmacy degree, that aim to establish the most relevant details that play a role in the career of a qualified pharmacist.

Case studies give pharmacy students an opportunity to test their understanding of a specialist topic. This may be anything from the formulation and dosing of medicines; to a drug’s mechanism of action, drug interactions, and clinical appropriateness for a medicine in a given scenario for a patient with specific factors to keep in mind. Evidently, this takes practice. There are many possible case study scenarios to consider. It can be difficult to always get things right.

Case studies are, then, a special kind of barometer through which we measure the professional competency of pharmacy students .

That is why pharmacy case studies are popular in degree programs – forcing students to think critically about a given topic – whether it be blood diagnostics, epidemiology, treatment options, or drug monitoring – tying together their past year’s study and how to apply this knowledge to (potentially) real-life situations.

Below, we’ve put together an introductory case study to provide you with a clear example of what kinds of questions can be asked and how best you should approach each question. With enough practice, clinical case studies become that much easier. And with time, students learn to enjoy case studies – as they are often your first direct experience of learning real and relevant facts that have an impact on your long-term professional career.

Pharmacy Case Study – Osteoporosis

A 49-year old woman with osteoporosis has been taking Fosamax for 6-months. She visits her GP complaining of acid reflux and pain radiating down her esophagus.

  • What is the active ingredient of Fosamax?
  • What is the mechanism of action of this medicine?
  • Suggest a reason why this patient is taking Fosamax.
  • How should the GP respond to the patient’s symptoms?
  • What foods and/or medicines should the patient avoid?

Explanation

The questions ask more about the medicine – how it works, what it’s indicated for, how the GP should respond to patient symptoms and what interactions, from both food and drug sources, the prescriber and pharmacist must consider.

A – The active ingredient of Fosamax is alendronate; a bisphosphonate drug.

B – Alendronate works by inhibiting osteoclast-mediated bone resorption (the process whereby bone is broken down and minerals are released into the blood).

C – As a 49-year old woman, the patient is likely post-menopausal. Bisphosphonates are routinely prescribed to prevent osteoporosis in these patients.

D – The patient may be improperly administering the medicine. Patients who do not follow the correct protocol of administering bisphosphonates are likely to experience specific symptoms, particularly relating to the esophagus and GI tract. Patients should be counseled to take the medicine in the morning on an empty stomach, whilst remaining upright, and taken with a full glass of water. This eases the bisphosphonate through the digestive tract without irritating the esophageal wall. Patients should avoid taking and food or medicines, both before and for at least 30-minutes after taking the bisphosphonate.

E – Two groups of medicines should be avoided. First, NSAIDs should be avoided; as they increase the risk of gastrointestinal side effects. Second, patients should avoid foods or supplements that contain multivalent ions such as magnesium, aluminum, or calcium. This category includes dairy products and antacids. As we learned above, bisphosphonates should be avoided with these medicines/foods for at least 30-minutes after the bisphosphonate has been taken (on an empty stomach).

Practice More Pharmacy Case Studies

The more pharmacy case studies you practice , the better prepared you are for the needs and demands that present during the licensing end of your pharmacy program. Pharmacy case studies help guide students through the must-know clinical facts about drugs and medicines; both theoretical and practical knowledge.

Clinical case studies are one of the ways in which students make the transition between an experienced, knowledgeable student and a clinical professional whose expertise can be trusted in the real world. Case studies bring pharmacy students to the next level. The more practice you put in, the better results you can expect as you progress through the licensing stage of your nascent career. That, in the end, is what matters.

5 Interesting Medication Case Reports - Part 5

This article highlights 5 published case reports that document accidental administrations of medications following pharmacy or nursing errors.

This article is part 5 of a 6-part series on interesting and unusual medication-related case reports. For part 4 click here .

Case reports are defined as the scientific documentation of an individual patient. These reports are often written to document an unusual clinical presentation, treatment approach, side effect, or response to treatment. Most experts see case reports as the first line of evidence in health care, which can sometimes lead to future higher-level studies.

Case reports can be a great learning opportunity for both pharmacists and pharmacy students to understand a case progression and the unconventional response and effects of medications.

1. Patient harm following Norvasc error 1

Norvasc (amlodipine) is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker indicated for the treatment of hypertension and coronary artery disease. A case report was published in 2016 detailing an alarming and overlooked medication error involving a prescription for Norvasc.

The case report involves a recently widowed 71-year-old female who was hospitalized for uncontrolled hypertension and acute kidney injury. During the hospital stay she received temporary hemodialysis, her blood pressure medications were adjusted, and she subsequently improved clinically. Upon discharge her prescription medications included Norvasc 10 mg twice daily, metoprolol 50 mg twice daily, doxazosin 2 mg daily, and torsemide 30 mg daily.

Over the next several months, she began experiencing worsening fatigue, slow movements, personality changes, and uncontrolled blood pressure. During this time, she was hospitalized once for chest pain and had several visits to her outpatient family physician where she was diagnosed with anxiety and depression; for these she was prescribed citalopram and alprazolam. Soon after, she was rehospitalized following a fall due to light-headedness.

An admission medication reconciliation revealed that the patient was actually taking Navane (thiothixene), an antipsychotic, instead of the Norvasc. Upon further review, it was revealed the pharmacy had accidently dispensed the wrong medication despite the written prescription being fully legible. After the thiothixene was discontinued, the patient’s clinical status improvement. The authors explain how this example shows the ‘Swiss Cheese Model’ of how medication errors can occur despite interacting with multiple areas of the health care system.

2. Rythmol prescription error 2

Rythmol (propafenone) is a class 1C antiarrhythmic drug that was FDA approved in 1989. In 2010, a case report was published documenting a medication error involving a handwritten prescription for Rythmol.

The case tells the story a 73-year-old man with a history of cardiac arrhythmia who presented to the clinic for a routine follow-up visit. After being evaluated by his physician, the patient received a handwritten prescription for Rythmol 150 mg, which he had been taking for the previous 3 years. He filled this prescription with the clinic pharmacy and subsequently started to experience nausea, sweating, and an irregular heartbeat. After 2 weeks of symptoms, he called his physician for an appointment, noting that his Rythmol tablets looked different than last time.

Upon evaluation, the physician discovered that the patient incorrectly received Synthroid (levothyroxine) 150 mcg from the pharmacy instead of the prescribed Rythmol 150 mg. The pharmacist who filled the prescription attributed the error to unclear handwriting on the prescription copy. The patient’s symptoms were believed to be caused by both abrupt discontinuation of Rythmol and unnecessary use of Synthroid at a high initial dose. Once the error was corrected, the patient’s symptoms gradually resolved.

The authors explain that this error demonstrates the importance of pharmacists clarifying with physicians on prescriptions with sloppy or illegible handwriting and appropriately counseling patients on new medication therapy.

3. Accidental administration of epinephrine instead of midazolam 3

Medication errors within the inpatient setting can have severe consequences on patient harm and prolonging length of stay. This 2016 case report details a 50-year-old women who was accidentally administered epinephrine instead of midazolam during colonoscopy prep.

The patient originally presented to the hospital with a history of abdominal pain and altered bowel habits. A colonoscopy was scheduled following administration of what was believed to be midazolam 5 mg. She then started to complain of chest tightness, difficulty breathing, and generalized tremors. It was soon discovered that a medication error occurred and the patient was instead administration 0.25 mg of epinephrine instead of midazolam. The procedure was postponed for several days until the patient recovered.

A root cause of the error revealed that the epinephrine ampule was mistakenly placed in the box with the midazolam in the pharmacy following an instance where a previous patient did not require the medication. Ampules of both medications were similar in size, shape, and color. As a result, the hospital initiated new procedures to ensure regular reviews of drug containers and their contents and double checking medication names before administration.

4. Unintentional administration of insulin instead of influenza vaccine 4

In 2016, researchers published the results of an investigation where a cluster of 5 adult patients unintentionally received insulin instead of the influenza vaccine. The mix-up occurred at a public school clinic in Missouri and was discovered following an investigation from the Saint Louis County Department of Public Health. Officials learned that a school nurse inadvertently administered Humalog U-100 insulin instead of the influenza vaccine. Acute hypoglycemia was reported in all 5 patients who received the insulin with varying degrees of symptoms.

After the first 2 patients complained of sweating and lightheadedness, the nurse reported the incidents to the supervising nurse, but did not stop administering vaccines. Two later patients would require hospitalization for their symptoms, one of which was documented to have a blood glucose level of 23 mg/dL. The investigation revealed that the influenza vaccine vial was kept in the nurse’s office refrigerator along with a 10 mL vial of Humaog U-100 insulin; they were found to not be stored in separate, labeled containers or bins. The manufacturer of the influenza vaccine conducted its own analysis but found no deviations or manufacturing incidents that would suggest a quality control problem.

The study authors state this incident was likely a result of ‘confirmation bias’ where a healthcare worker may rely on familiar cues, such as the shape, colors, and markings on a vial to confirm preconceptions, which may lead to reduced vigilance and an increased risk of medication errors.

5. Warfarin and Xarelto duplication 5

Coumadin (warfarin) and Xarelto (rivaroxaban) are anticoagulants used to reduce the risk of stroke and embolism in patients with atrial fibrillation and for prophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). A case report was recently published documenting a patient who unintentionally received both medications concurrently.

The case involves a 62-year-old man who was referred to a pharmacist-managed anticoagulation clinic for follow-up post bilateral pulmonary embolism. The patient was advised to continue on the warfarin he initiated in the hospital at a dose of 5 mg daily and return the following week for a repeat INR test. At next visit, his INR was revealed to be over 8.0. He denied taking any extra warfarin doses, recent alcohol intake, or new prescription medications. No symptoms of bruising or bleeding were noted. Upon further questioning, the patient reported starting a new medication 5 days earlier from his retail pharmacy which the clinic determined to be Xarelto 20 mg.

Investigation into the issue revealed that a prescription for Xarelto had been sent to his retail pharmacy to inquire about the cost of the medication with his insurance plan. The retail pharmacy then placed the medication on hold rather than discontinue the order entirely like the clinic staff had requested. When he visited his retail pharmacy the next day, they filled and dispensed the medication. The patient had not been counseled and assumed it was a new medication for his neuropathy. The Xarelto was subsequently discontinued and the warfarin dose was gradually reduced until the INR was within range. The case shows the importance of counseling patients on new medications and inquiring about potential duplicate therapies.

Pharmacy Case Studies for Pharmacists & Medical Sciences Students

Pharmacists and healthcare practitioners are required to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the application of therapeutics in clinical practice. Pharmacists must ensure patient safety and achieve desired health outcomes through effective decision-making. The idea of designing these case studies is to meet the needs and challenges of a modern pharmacy undergraduate curriculum. Case studies are increasingly used in pharmacy undergraduate as well as postgraduate education.

Each chapter contains five case studies, increasing in complexity from those we would expect first-year students to complete (Level 1) through to cases designed for fourth-year/pre-registration students (Level M). The chapters have been designed to follow approximately the British National Formulary chapters for ease of use. Case study scenarios include both community and hospital pharmacy situations as suited to the disease and pharmaceutical care provision.
