Answer:

Pneumococcal, meningococcal, and Haemophilus influenzae (Hib) vaccinations.

Explanation:

Immunization against encapsulated bacterial pathogens decreases the incidence of post-splenectomy sepsis. Pneumococcal, meningococcal, and Haemophilus influenzae (Hib) vaccinations are indicated for patients after splenectomy. These immunizations should be given at least 14 days before a scheduled splenectomy, or given after the fourteenth postoperative day (strength of recommendation [SOR]: A,based on systematic review of RCTs for the pneumococcal vaccine; SOR: B, based on systematic review of clinical trials for meningococcal and Hib vaccines).

A nurse at a long-term care facility is conducting a medication reconciliation for a man who has just moved into the facility. T
Valentin [98]

It is very reasonable for the nurse to believe that this individual taking clopidogrel, has a background of coronary artery disease.

What is the function of the clopidogrel drug?

  • It is an antiplatelet drug. It stops platelets, a kind of blood cell, from congregating and creating a potentially harmful blood clot.
  • If one has a higher risk of developing blood clots, using clopidogrel can help.
  • Clopidogrel has been shown to reduce the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and vascular mortality in people with atherosclerosis and in those who have had coronary stents implanted.
  • ITP, CVA, and hemophilia are not suggested conditions to be treated with it.

When not to use clopidogrel?

For some folks, clopidogrel is not a good choice. In order to ensure that this medication is safe for you, let your doctor know if you:

  1. possess an ulcer in the stomach or have had ulcers in the past
  2. have experienced brain bleeding (a brain hemorrhage)
  3. having a bleeding condition, such as hemophilia
