Why check a patient's renal and liver function before prescribing celebrex?

Checking a patient's renal and liver function before prescribing Celebrex (celecoxib) is crucial because both the kidneys and liver are involved in the metabolism and excretion of the drug. Impaired renal function can increase the risk of adverse effects, such as fluid retention and hypertension, while compromised liver function may affect drug metabolism and increase the likelihood of toxicity. Evaluating these functions helps ensure patient safety and allows for appropriate dosage adjustments if necessary.

Must you have the patient's permission to enlist an interpreter to explain medical procedures in the patient's native language?

If you can not communicate with the patient how can you first get a permission.

Presumably the interpreter could assist in obtaing this consent.


How do circulatory and respiratory impairment contribute to fatigue?

When the patient's breathing and blood circulation are impaired, or when the patient has anemia (low levels of red blood cells), body tissues do not receive as much oxygen and energy. Consequently, the patient experiences a general sense of fatigue.
