Question 4

how can a social worker intervene to prevent diseases from occurring (health promotion-disease prevention)?

Accepted Answer

Prevention: Have you heard the statement, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"?  The social worker has the ability to help inform you of healthier health practices that can, if followed, improve your ability to prevent disease.   And help you to have a better quality of life.  Social workers are a great benifit to many people if only people will listen and apply their reccomendations.

Question 5

i recently took a total of 2 drug urinalysis for a job promotion and both came back as diluted could my  medication of levothyroxine and pravasatin affect the results?

Accepted Answer

Urine test: Your urine will be very dilute if you drink large quantities of water/liquid before your test.  A diuretic taken just before your test would have similar effects.  Neither thyroxine or pravastatin have this effect.

Question 6

i pulled my back out a few months ago, i went to the emergency room and they did xrays and did notice that i had a sprain. i have no insurance due to a recent promotion and waiting for  paperwork to be  finalized so i can't get seen by a primary care doct

Accepted Answer

Back sprain: Back sprain may resolve with rest, avoiding further injury, proper lifting technique,  ice applications for first 48 hours and then heat application, topical and or oral analgesics

Question 7

nerve pain at blood draw site upon flexing arm.almost constant mild nerve pain from inner forearm to lower palm.what to expect?how to promote healing?

Accepted Answer

Continue to monitor: Pain is not the same thing as weakness, but pain could lead to weakness. Continue to monitor the symptoms, and if they worsen (skin discoloration, true weakness, worsening pain) or persist, see your primary care physician. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003206.htm

Question 8

what can i take to promote healthy sleep?

Accepted Answer

Ideally, nothing: It's best if you can sleep well based on routines and non-medication interventions like  darkening environment, avoiding caffeine and alcohol, a warm bath or shower before bed. For patients who seek a sleep aid, i often suggest melatonin as a safe option with few interactions and reasonable efficacy- it's available over the counter and can work well.
