In this discussion, you will find one research peer-reviewed journal article that evaluates the efficacy of one type of bronchodilator (B2 agonists, anticholinergic, and/or xanthine). It is suggested to locate a randomized controlled trial. If able, try to connect your articles to medications used within your Patient Problem of Practice (PPoP). If not, consider a population of patients that you treat regularly with the medication selected. Summarize your findings on the medication you've chosen.
Instructions:
- What type of patient is this medication intended to treat?
- Compare your findings in the research article with the protocols, policies, and practices in your local context.
- Is this medication used in "off-brand" strategies to treat other conditions?
- What are the intended and unintended responses to the medication?
- How might you describe the medication's efficacy to a patient?
- In what ways do you know the intended effect has been achieved?
- Each initial response must be at least 300 words, and demonstrate course-related knowledge
