Title: Managing Medications in a Chinese Elderly Patient: A Cross-Cultural Perspective
Submit your answers as a short paper to the dropbox. Ensure there is a minimum of two scholarly sources to support your work.
Always construct as an academic paper using APA 7th edition. Title page, level one heading on second page (title of your paper), body, conclusion. Reference page. (See APA 7th edition formatted paper in the APA folder).
An 88-year-old Chinese-speaking woman is admitted for complaints of dizziness and s/p a syncopal episode while attending a local senior center program. She was brought to the emergency department. She lives with her son and his family in a two-family home, which she owns. She is independent in all activities of daily living (ADLs) and participates in a daily tai chi exercise group with her friends at the local park. She did not want to go to the emergency department, but instead wanted to go home and have some “herbal medicines.”
A medical workup reveals that she has aortic stenosis, atrial fibrillation, and hypertension. She is started on an antihypertensive, coumadin, and aspirin and discharged home with her family.
One week later she is readmitted to the hospital with rectal bleeding and bleeding from her gums. She denies taking excessive amounts of coumadin or aspirin. When you ask her son to bring in her medications, only prescribed medications are present, and he reassures you that she is taking the medications according to the physician’s orders. She reports that she has not altered her routine at all; she practices tai chi every morning and eats lots of fruits and vegetables. A colonoscopy reveals a polyp, which is removed, and she is transfused with 2 units of packed red blood cells. She is discharged home with her family 2 days later, and home health care is ordered. The home health care nurse visits her 1 day after discharge.
A Chinese-speaking nurse visits her and learns that she is taking all of her prescribed medications as ordered. However, she is taking a supplement of a Chinese herb (gingko biloba) in tablet form twice per day to maintain her memory, and she is also consuming an oriental herbal tea (containing Chinese ginseng, ginger, and garlic) three to four times per day. She states, “I take my pills just like the doctor says, but it is this tea that is making me feel better. It is made of special herbs. It is better than all of those pills.” The nurse suggests that the woman stop taking the supplement and drinking the tea until she can find out what herbs it is made of, but she is reluctant to do so because she believes it is the secret to longevity.
What actions should the home health nurse take?
What information should the nurse include in the medication teaching plan for the patient?
Include a cross-cultural perspective to your answers. -

“Uncovering the Molecular Mechanisms of Oncogene-Memory in Drug-Resistant Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia: A Systems Biology Approach”
Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is associated with the BCR-ABL oncogene with 750 patients diagnosed yearly in the UK. Treatment with Imatinib Mesylate (IM), which inhibits the activity of BCR-ABL, has been clinically successful yet ~20% of patients develop drug resistance with imminent death occurring within 12-months.
Given the genetic plasticity of innate immune cells, as well as the clinical observations of drug resistance, it is tempting to speculate that leukaemic myeloid cells can be reprogrammed to become BCR-ABL independent. Definitive proof of such oncogenic programming of the myeloid genome has been lacking.
We established drug resistant clones from the KCL22 cell model; each recapitulating the clinical observations with BCR-ABL activity abolished by IM yet the cells continue to survive. Oncogene-memory was determined by siRNA knockdown approaches whereby targeting of BCR-ABL protein in parental cells induced immediate cell death while drug resistant derivatives continue to grow and survive.
Objectives:
Molecular characterise the newly reprogrammed gene network that establishes oncogene-memory
Target specific biological pathways of the defined oncogene-memory (cell cycle, metabolism) in attempts to induce apoptosis thus laying the foundation for future generations of novel therapies.
The project will employ a systems-biology approach (genome wide expression analysis, bio-informatics and shRNA technology) with the specific aims to (i) identify regulatory factors whose expression is dysregulated as a direct consequence of BCR-ABL activity and (ii) attempt to rescue the developmental block by restoring the functional activity of these dysregulated genes. -
