The discussion assignment provides a forum for discussing
relevant topics for this week based on the course competencies covered.
For this assignment, make sure you post your initial
response to the Discussion Area by the due date
assigned.
To support your work, use your course and text readings
and use outside sources. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work
and provide references for the citations in APA format.
Start reviewing and responding to the postings of your
classmates as early in the week as possible. Respond to at least two of your
classmates. Participate in the discussion by asking a question, providing a
statement of clarification, providing a point of view with a rationale,
challenging an aspect of the discussion, or indicating a relationship between
two or more lines of reasoning in the discussion. Complete your participation
for this assignment by the end of the week.
Nutrient-Drug Interactions
Read the sections of chapters 11 and 12 in your textbook
(starting on page 245) dealing with drug-nutrient or herbal/supplement-nutrient
interactions and answer the following questions:
·
Have
you ever encountered a situation in which you experienced (or had another
person experience) a drug (OTC or prescription), herbal, or supplement-nutrient
interaction? If so, explain what it was. If you have not, research a common
interaction and explain it. Your explanation should include what drugs, herbs,
or supplements and nutrient(s) are involved as well as the possible result of
the interaction. Note that you are not to report on the side effects of a drug,
herb or supplement, but rather how these might interact with a nutrient (in
foods or in supplemental form) and result in a negative effect.
·
When
you looked for information on the interaction where did you look? How were your
questions or concerns addressed?
·
Where,
in your experience, does the public turn to for information on drugs, herbs, or
supplements? Are these sources usually reputable? How would you determine if a
source, whether a person or an article or other, is reputable?
·
Do
you think healthcare professionals have met the challenge of helping people
find suitable nutritional supplements? Why or why not? How might socioeconomic
status come into play when choosing between or within prescription medications
or OTC medications/supplements/herbs? If someone needed to determine if
nutrient status was being compromised because of an interaction, what tests
could be done?
