A1 - Kruidering-Hall, Marieke PY - 2020 T2 - Pharmacology for the Physical Therapist, 2e AB - CASE STUDYC.J. is a 56-year-old white woman with a 40-year history of type 1 diabetes mellitus. Two weeks ago, she suffered a myocardial infarction (MI) for which she was hospitalized for several days. Prior to her MI, C.J. had been evaluated at an outpatient wound clinic for neuropathic ulcers on both feet. Three weeks after her MI, C.J. returns to the wound clinic for her first treatment. The physical therapist notes increased erythema around the right foot ulcer since the evaluation. The therapist contacts the primary healthcare provider to report the patient’s change in status. The wound is cultured and is positive for Staphylococcus aureus. The patient is given oral clindamycin to treat the wound infection and returns to the wound clinic the following week. The physical therapist notes that the erythema on the right foot has receded. As the therapist is taking wound measurements, C.J. mentions that she has been experiencing abdominal cramping and frequent bouts of watery diarrhea for the past several days. She has not reported this to her physician because she felt that this was a minor problem and did not want to “bother her doctor.” The physical therapist discusses with C.J. that her diarrhea may be related to the antibiotic therapy and encourages her to relay the signs and symptoms to her physician as soon as possible.
