She tells you that she has been to the hospital for some tests since she had noticed that she has been more breathless than usual and that her ankles have been swollen. What did they find out? Apparently my heart isn t working as well as it should and that I need to go on more tablets What are they? I don t really know. I have a new prescription here and I need to start them now. Did they tell you what to do about the tablets you are already on? No. Do you think I need to keep taking them? Let me have a look at your new prescription.

Well I ve been told that I now have heart failure to go along with all my other problems although I don t really know what that means. I ve also been told that I have to take these water tablets because I get swollen ankles. Yes, I see they have started you on a tablet called furosemide. You need to take one of these each morning. The doctor also said something about changing some of my other medicines, but I can t remember what he said. Do you think they are going to start more, or change the ones I m on? That will depend on a number of things. It really depends on how you re responding to the medicines we have you on already. 7 Pharmaceutical care of people with heart failure Course activities
