Lesson 7: Medications-History, Routes, & SE

7/7/2019

0 Comments

 
​Happy Sunday! This is our second of three lessons in medications/pharm. Next we’ll be going over medication classes in Spanish.
 
Four shifts again this week have kept me busy. As the summer days go by, more people are enjoying the outdoors, barbequing, and making some interesting food & beverage choices.  Drinking water and staying hydrated isn’t high up on the to-do list. So, cue the IVs and rehydrating solutions—which we’ve been seeing a lot of these days. This week’s case Spanish term: dehydrated.
Dehydrated--Deshidratado 
So, take this as a reminder to continue hyrdating! Alright, now onto the lesson...
