Sharing another newly-published article: Precision medicine: how to approach the adolescent asthmatic ☝ It is the review writen by Dr. Alan Kaplan. 👨🏫It is well known that adolescent patients often have less than optimal outcomes. Adolescence is a time of much transition, physically, emotionally, and socially all of which have effects on asthma management and outcomes. Pubertal changes affect asthma, but mostly it is the move towards independence from the parents, peer pressures, stigma of illness, and adherence issues that cause the issue.

It is therefore imperative that the patient's identity and history be checked to avoid any risk of medical error. According to the American Hospital Association (AHA), the color codes for hospital emergency wristbands are as follows: 🔴 Red: Allergy - Indicates that the patient has known allergies or adverse reactions to medications, substances, or materials. 🟡 Yellow: Fall Risk - Indicates that the patient is at risk of falling or has mobility issues that require extra precaution. 🟣 Purple: Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) - Identifies patients who do not wish to receive cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or other resuscitative interventions. 💕 Pink: Restricted Extremity - Denotes the patient has a restricted or immobilized limb that should be handled carefully. 🟢Green: Latex Allergy - Indicates that the patient has a latex allergy and should not be exposed to latex-containing products. 🔵 Blue: Pediatric Patient - Typically used to identify pediatric patients or patients with specific pediatric care needs. 🔘Gray : Combative or Behavioral Issues - Identifies patients with aggressive or potentially violent behavior, requiring special attention. 🟠 Orange: Do Not Remove - This color code may be used to indicate that a medical device or procedure should not be removed or discontinued without proper authorization. ⚪ White: Standard Care - Represents standard care or no specific warnings or precautions. It's important to note that while these color codes are used by many hospitals variations may exist among different institutions. It's always best to confirm the specific color-coding system with the hospital or Nursing department. Thank you for reading, Repost, Reshare and Tag your colleagues to also benefit from the post.
