Due to high cholesterol and triglyceride (fat)
Due to high cholesterol and triglyceride (fat) levels in the patient’s blood, the physician previously has prescribed the patient the antihyperlipidemic medication lovastatin 20 mg OD. After taking this medication for a period of time, the cholesterol and triglyceride levels are still too high and not within acceptable limits. The physician added niacin 250 mg PO per day. The patient has looked up this medication on the Internet, as she does with many other of her medications. W.N. is relatively healthy and slightly obese. Aside from the birth of her son, she has never been in the hospital. W.N. gets checkups at the doctor about every five to six years. W.N. tells the nurse that she heard that combining niacin with lovastatin will help decrease the side effects of niacin. W.N. also says she read niacin will help her increase the “good fats” and wants to know what else she can do to adjust her diet to increase her good fats and decrease bad fats.As a critical thinking nurse, how would you address, with the patient, her use of the internet for medical information and advice? Using bullet points, list three additional topics from this brief conversation that should to be addressed with this patient. List specific details under each topic.
