Table 1. Case Study Example
A 55-year-old man with coronary artery disease
presented to the advanced registered NP with a cough.
Diagnosing an upper respiratory infection, she
transmitted an e-prescription for dextroamphetamine 15
mg sustained release capsule to be taken every 12 hours
instead of dextromethorphan hydrobromide 15-mg
capsules. The pharmacist at the community pharmacy
filled it despite noticing that the man also had active
prescriptions for carvedilol, hydrochlorthiazide, and
simvastatin. After taking 1 dose, the man presented to
the emergency room with palpitations and chest pain.
