Please type the answer, thanks.

P.W. Is a 40-year old disabled man who recently lost his wife to metastatic breast cancer. His brother has taken him into his home. P.W. has a 22-year history of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (Type-1). Until recently, he has taken responsibility for the management of his disease and has been actively involved in the local chapter of the American Diabetic Association. PMH includes 2 amputated toes on his R foot, retinopathy and visual impairment in both eyes, and angina on exertion from coronary artery disease that severely restricts his activity. Since he began treatment with an Ace-inhibitor 2 years ago, his blood pressure has gone from 182/128 to 126/78 mm Hg. Currently, he is 71” tall and weighs 135 lb. P.W.’s sister-in-law, who is an LPN says P.W. has lost about 12 lbs in the past 3 weeks. Over the past few years, P.W. has been administering a multidose (3 injections) regimen of regular Humulin insulin to himself before meals and at night. Recently his BG levels have been increasingly inconsistent and labile, and he has been labeled “noncompliant.” It is Monday. You are the home care nurse assigned to visit P.W. 3 times per week for teaching and evaluation. P.W.’s brother and sister-in-law express concern that P.W. seems to be indifferent about his nutritional and pharmacologic regimens.

You have an opportunity to advocate for services that you judge should be included or excluded in your state's healthcare plan for allocating healthcare resources to Medicaid recipients. You take this task seriously for many reasons, but one is that the federal government has given your state the opportunity to develop an allocation plan for Medicaid reform nationally. now the real crisis has come because several important services that the members of this inter-professional task force hoped could be included are not. You now have to decide among yourselves how to make the final cuts but not tinker with the list created by the first part of the process that has received approval. The task force has six possible services that could be added for the state's 20,000 Medicaid recipients (all estimated costs are annual, and the task force has $46,136,000 to adjudicate).

a. preventive dental care for children ages 2 to 6 years. Includes a yearly check-up and teeth cleaning. Does not include fillings, orthodontics, or other acute dental or surgical services. Estimated cost: $3,760,000.

b. Outpatient mental health services (initial evaluation and up to 12 visits) for children and adolescents (ages 4 to 19 years). Does not include medications or hospitalization. Estimated cost: $8,000,000.

c. Smoking-related asthma treatments. Estimated cost: $8,860,000.

d. Liver transplantation and follow-up. Estimated cost: $12,200,000.

e. Mammograms for women younger than 50 years. Estimated cost: $6,900,000.

f. Coverage for pain management for patients with chronic back pain, including medications, rehabilitation, and pain centers, but not including surgery, which could be covered in another surgical category that ranked higher on the list of services. Estimated cost: $21,040,000.

Rank order, with highest priority number 1 and lowest 6, and write your rationale below each one. When you have reached $46,136,000 you have exhausted the remaining available funds.  

Address items that did not make the cut and justify your position other than you ran out of money.

Macrolides, tetracyclines, oxazolidinones (e.g., linezolid), and aminoglycosides all produce their antibacterial effects by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis; however, each drug class has distinct uses.

  • Why is azithromycin, but not doxycycline, most commonly used for treating community acquired pneumonia?

  • If gentamicin is a bactericidal drug and linezolid is only bacteriostatic, why is linezolid generally considered the more restricted-use antibiotic and more “powerful” for treating Gram-positive infections?
