Someone was asking about this sanario. Please help me! A person who wasn't eating for 2 days and only drinking alcohol. He was very uncomfortable and couldn't sleep. He was trying to through up but only spitting. At home he got shot for sleeping and med for vomiting. His condition become worse. He was disoriented. He went to hospital. He got enema at hospital. what needs to be done at first, second and so forth. Critical thinking!
What ideas about the scenario do you have? While we are happy to help, we do ask that you show us what efforts you've made at answering the question first. It gives us a place to start helping you.

We won't do your homework for you, though if you tell us what you have found out by reading your textbooks already, we can help you think it through. Is this a school assignment, or is this someone you know? What kind of program are you in? What year are you?

Not to be the spelling police, but hard to follow--(and I don't always spell well, either....) but if this is homework, you may want to spell checkETOH can be a chronic issue. I would look up alcohol withdrawal and symptoms of same. Before anything is started, an assessment needs to be performed, including medical history, labs need to be drawn including a blood alcohol level--you need to know what you are dealing with before you start treatment, per MD orders.I am not sure what an enema has to do with anything.There are withdrawal protocols in place at most facilities. Become familiar with them.Librium is a drug of choice for ETOH withdrawal. As is Ativan--however, because ETOH withdrawal can cause seizures, patient safety is such that seizure precautions are also part of any number of protocols.If you have a reference, read up on the whole picture of withdrawal. That way, you are in a better place to be able to think critically on what to do.Best wishes

If this person is in etOH withdraw, what are the most serious complications you have to be on the lookout for? How do you prevent them? If they happen, how do you treat them emergently? What other questions would you ask to the person who gave those meds to clarify the situation?
