I had a scenario and a list of drugs with doses and 3 questions.
1. are there any interactions or pharmacological problems?
2. what advice would you give?
3. what condition does the patient have?
the list of drugs contained
salbutamol
corticosteroid
tiotropium
(something i cant remember)
amoxil
nystatin
atenolol
simvastatin
clarithromycin
due to the regular dosing of salbutamol i deduced it must be copd.
and atenolol shouldnt be given in such conditions of asthma and bronchospasm.
but my hands were shaking and i was so scared i couldnt even work thru the problem i thought i'd go thru no. 2 and 3 first as they seemed easy. but then didnt have enough time to go thru no. 1 properly.
im gonna find out tomorrow whether i passed or not. Even thou i know i mucked up the problem, I'm not sure will they hold that against me??? I mean to get into 4th year every student must obviously be able to look up interactions.
the questions they asked after the problem solving session seemed pretty good and i think my answers were ok.
I'm really scared now im not sure what the outcome will be, but for the clearing option i put down all hospitals in west midlands.
