Pharmacology Medical Terminology Corner 

This week continue to explore medications that use a root word for the different groups under the broad category of antibiotics. While the base root does not hold true for every anti-infective group it does for many.

You can see from this chart that the root words: sulfa, oxacins, cillins, and mycins are not exact for each category. It is helpful, however, as the types are used for different pathological (disease-causing) organisms. 

Explore the organisms that antibiotics are used for. 

Include the following aspects in the assignment: 

• Make a simple chart for each of the six categories of antibiotics in the chart 
• Research each category and under each describe the specific type of organism each might be used for (gram-positive cocci, gram-negative bacillus, etc.) 
• Include the illness that might be caused by the organism (gastroenteritis, pneumonia, skin infection) 
• Cite any references. At all times proper grammar, sentence structure, and spelling. Copying and pasting are not allowed. Always use your own words View your assignment rubric.

What Are Your Community Healthcare Resources?

If you are like most, you are likely more familiar with the traditional acute inpatient hospital. Yet, with the renewed emphasis on community healthcare, it is just as likely you will need services as an outpatient. The optional text has a nice visual of this.

Provide a review of local community healthcare resources.

Include the following aspects in the assignment:

• Use several resources (phone book, Windshield survey, internet, etc.) to create a thorough list of non-hospital healthcare facilities in your community.
• Provide the town/city name, name of the facility, type of the facility, and specifics about what services the facility provides.
• Were you surprised at what you found? If so, why?
• Do you think there are sufficient services for your community? Why or why not?
• Did you find an underrepresented area (without mental health, walk-in, low-income/free clinic, women’s health, Planned Parenthood, Senior Citizen Center).
• Why do you think these facilities are not represented in your area?
• Make a simple chart with columns for each required section. Answer the final questions under the chart as Q& A.
• Cite any references. Proper grammar, sentence structure, and spelling are required. Use your own words. Copying and pasting are not allowed.
