• UTI with Antibiotic Sensitivity
• Community-Acquired Pneumonia
• COPD
• Hypertension and Type 2 Diabetes
• Pain management

Discuss the medications prescribed during each ShadowHealth© Focused Exam and an alternative for each medication in the case studies. After each case study, you will describe evidence-based practice guidelines for each condition and will briefly share your findings. Your presentation should include:

• Prescribed drug:
o Name, drug class, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and uses
o Diagram mechanism of action in the body
o Possible drug interactions and pharmacogenomic considerations
o Monitoring parameters and understanding of success with medication
o Possible side effects and patient education

• Alternative Drug:
o Name, drug class, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and uses
o Diagram mechanism of action in the body
o Possible drug interactions and pharmacogenomic considerations
o Monitoring parameters and understanding of success with medication
o Possible side effects and patient education

Locate at least one scholarly article, written within the last 5 years, that discusses the most recent recommendations/guidelines for the treatment of each case study and briefly discuss your findings and implications for clinical practice.
