DRUG STUDY
An output requirement for JBL duty; (July 16-26) Submitted By: Eries L. Lumba BSN 4-C; Group 3-A Batch 2014 Submitted to : Daisy Reyes, RN, MAN
DRUG NAME
Ceftriaxone Sodium
CLASSIFICATION
Anti-biotic; Third Generation Cephalosporin
ACTION
Binds to one or more of the Penicillin-binding proteins (PBP) located on cell walls of susceptible organisms. This inhibits third and final stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis, thus killing the bacterium. It is effective against serious gram-negative organisms and also penetrates the CSF in concentrations useful in treatment of Meningitis.
SIDE EFFECTS
Lump on the Injection Site Nausea Vomiting G.I. upset Headache Pain or swelling on Tongue Sweating Vaginal itching/ discharge
ADVERSE EFFECTS
Pruritus Fever Chills Pain Phlebitis Diarrhea Abdominal Cramps Pseudomemb ranous Colitis Biliary Sludge Genital Pruritus Moniliasis
NURSING RESPONSIBILITIES
Determine history of hypersensitivity reactions to cephalosphorins and penicillins and history of other allergies. Inspect injection site for induration and inflammation. Note IV injection sites for phlebitis. Monitor for manifestations of hypersensitivity Watch and report for: Petechiae, ecchymotic areas, epistaxis, or any unexplained bleeding. Report promptly development
Ampicillin Sodium
Anti-biotic; Aminopenicillin Inhibits the final stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall resulting in Lysis and death of bacteria. Effective against grampositive bacteria as well as some gramnegative bacteria.

of diarrhea. Determine history of hypersensitivity reactions to cephalosphorins and penicillins and history of other allergies. Inspect skin daily and instruct patient to do the same for allergic rashes. Report promptly development of diarrhea.
Observe patients receiving large doses for at least 30 mins to ensure that sedation is not excessive. Chronic use in children and infants requires continuous assessment related to normal cognitive and behavioural functioning. Keep patient under constant observation when drug is administered IV and record VS at least every hour or more if indicated. Check IV insertion site very frequently to prevent extravasation of

phenobarbital. Expect Barbiturates to produce restlessness when given to patients in pain because it has no analgesic action. Monitor for and report chronic toxicity problems (e.g. ataxia. Slurred speech, irritability, poor judgment, slight dysarthria, nystagmus on vertical gaze, confusion, insomnia and somatic complaints) Inspect insertion site for signs of inflammation and extravasations during IV infusion. Monitor closely for indications of impending Respiratory Arrest. Resuscitative drugs and equipment should be immediately available. Monitor VS for entire recovery period. Be aware that overdose symptoms include somnolence, confusion, sedation, diminished reflexes and COMA. Assess patients fever or pain: typeof pain, location,
pyrogens on the hypothalamus heat regulating centers & by a hypothalamic action leading to sweating & vasodilatation. Relieves pain by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis at the CNS but does not have anti-inflammatory action because of its minimal effect on peripheral prostaglandin synthesis.

intensity, duration, temperature, and diaphoresis. Assess allergic reactions: rash, urticaria; if these occur, drug may have to be discontinued. Teach patient to recognize signs of chronic overdose: bleeding, bruising, malaise, fever, sore throat. Tell patient to notify prescriber for pain/ fever lasting for more than 3 days.
Amikacin Sulfate
Aminoglycoside; Antibiotic
Inhibits protein synthesis in bacterial cell and usually bactericidal. Effective against wide-range of gram-negative bacteria, including many strains resistant to other aminoglycosides. Also effective against penicillinase and nonpenicillinase producing Staphylococcus.
