A Case study of polypharmacy-induced serotonin syndrome in a cancer patient.
Abstract: Polypharmacy in cancer care can be complex and detrimental, particularly among younger patients, who can be easily overlooked. This report showcases a 54-year-old woman with cancer, treated for dapsone-induced methemoglobinemia with methylene blue (MB), subsequently developing serotonin syndrome (SS) due to concurrent serotonin-active medications. This case highlights the critical impact of polypharmacy, emphasizing the necessity for acute care providers to diligently assess medication interactions, especially in emergencies. It underscores the importance of considering alternative treatments and the vigilant monitoring of symptoms indicative of adverse drug interactions to ensure patient safety and optimize outcomes in complex therapeutic scenarios.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (JAANP) is a monthly peer-reviewed professional journal that serves as the official publication of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners.
Published since 1989, the JAANP provides a strong clinical focus with articles related to primary, secondary, and tertiary care, nurse practitioner education, health policy, ethics and ethical issues, and health care delivery. The journal publishes original research, integrative/comprehensive reviews, case studies, a variety of topics in clinical practice, and theory-based articles related to patient and professional education. Although the majority of nurse practitioners function in primary care, there is an increasing focus on the provision of care across all types of systems from acute to long-term care settings.
