Rolling over, crawling, walking, and talking are all considered milestones. The milestones are different for each age range. There is a normal range in which a child may reach each milestone. For example, walking may begin as early as 8 months in some children. Others walk as late as 18 months and it is still considered normal. One of the reasons for well-child visits to the health care provider in the early years is to follow your child's development. Most parents also watch for different milestones. Do not talk to your child's provider if you have concerns about your child's development. Closely watching a \"checklist\" or calendar of developmental milestones may trouble parents if their child is not developing normally. At the same time, milestones can help to identify a child who needs a more detailed check-up. Research has shown that the sooner the developmental services are started, the better the outcome. Examples of developmental services include: speech therapy, physical therapy, and developmental preschool. Below is a general list of some of the things you might see children doing at different ages. These are NOT precise guidelines. There are many different normal paces and patterns of development.

The sleep cycle includes: Dreamless periods of light and deep sleep Some periods of active dreaming (REM sleep) The sleep cycle is repeated several times during the night. AGING CHANGES Sleep patterns tend to change as you age. Most people find that aging causes them to have a harder time falling asleep. They sleep through the night and wake up later in the morning. Total sleep time stays the same or is slightly decreased (6.5 to 7 hours per night). It may be harder to fall asleep and you may spend more total time in bed. The transition between sleep and waking up is often abrupt, which makes older people feel like they are a lighter sleeper than when they were younger. Less time is spent in deep, dreamless sleep. Older people wake up an average of 3 or 4 times each night. They are also more aware of being awake. Older people wake up more often because they spend less time deep sleep. Other causes include needing to get up and urinate ( nocturia ), anxiety, and discomfort or pain from long-term (chronic) illnesses. EFFECT OF CHANGES Sleep difficulty is an annoying problem. Long-term (chronic) insomnia is a major cause of auto accidents and depression. Because older people sleep more lightly and wake up more often, they may feel deprived of sleep even when their total sleep time has not changed. Sleep deprivation can eventually cause confusion and other mental changes . It is treatable, though. You can reduce symptoms when you get enough sleep. Sleep problems are also a common symptom of depression. See a health care provider to find out whether depression or another health condition is affecting your sleep. COMMON PROBLEMS Insomnia is one of the more common sleep problems in older people. Other sleep disorders , such as restless legs syndrome, narcolepsy , or hypersomnia can also occur. Sleep apnea , a condition where breathing stops for a time during sleep, can cause severe problems. PREVENTION Older people respond differently to medicines than do younger adults. It is very important to talk with your provider before taking sleep medicines. If possible, avoid sleep medicines. However, antidepressant medicines can be very helpful if depression affects your sleep. Some antidepressants do not cause the same side effects as sleep medicines. Sometimes, a mild antihistamine works better than a sleeping pill for relieving short-term insomnia. However, most health experts do not recommend these types of medicines for older people. Use sleep medicines (such as zolpidem, zaleplon, eszoplicone or benzodiazepines) only as recommended, and only for a short time. Some of these medicines can lead to dependence (needing to take the drug to function) or addiction (compulsive use despite adverse consequences). Some of these drugs build up in your body. You can develop toxic effects such as confusion, delirium , and falls if you take them for a long time. You can take measures to help you sleep: A light bedtime snack may be helpful. Many people find that warm milk increases sleepiness, because it contains a natural, sedative-like amino acid. Avoid stimulants such as caffeine (found in coffee, tea, cola drinks, and chocolate) for at least 3 or 4 hours before bed. Do not take naps during the day. Exercise at regular times each day, but not within 3 hours of your bedtime. Avoid too much stimulation, such as violent TV shows or computer games, before sleep. Practice relaxation techniques at bedtime. Do not watch television or use your computer, cell phone, or tablet in the bedroom. Try to go to bed at the same time every night and wake at the same time each morning. Use the bed only for sleep or sexual activity. Avoid tobacco products, especially before sleep. Ask your provider if any of the medicines you take may affect your sleep. If you cannot fall asleep after 20 minutes, get out of bed and do a quiet activity, such as reading or listening to music. When you feel sleepy, get back in bed and try again. If you still cannot fall asleep in 20 minutes, repeat the process. Drinking alcohol at bedtime may make you sleepy. However, it is best to avoid alcohol, because it can make you wake up later in the night.

Growth charts can help both you and your health care provider follow your child as they grow. These charts may provide an early warning that your child has a medical problem. Growth charts were developed from information gained by measuring and weighing thousands of children. From these numbers, the national average weight and height for each age and gender were established. The lines or curves on growth charts don't tell how many other children in the United States weigh a certain amount at a certain age. For example, the weight on the 50th percentile line means that one half of the children in the United States weigh more than that number and one half of the children weigh less. WHAT GROWTH CHARTS MEASURE Your child's provider will measure the following during each well-child visit: Weight (measured in ounces and pounds, or grams and kilograms) Height (measured while lying down in children under age 3, and while standing up in children over age 3 and older) Head circumference , a measurement of the head size taken by wrapping a measuring tape around the back of the head above the eyebrows Beginning at age 2, a child's body mass index (BMI) can be calculated. Height and weight are used to figure out the BMI. A BMI measurement can estimate a child's body fat. Each of your child's measurements is placed on the growth chart. These measurements are then compared with the standard (normal) range for children of the same sex and age. The same chart will be used as your child grows older. HOW TO UNDERSTAND A GROWTH CHART Many parents worry if they learn that their child's height, weight, or head size is smaller than those of most other children the same age. They worry about whether their child will do well in school, or be able to keep up in sports. Learning a few important facts can make it easier for parents to understand what different measurements mean: Mistakes in measurement can happen, for example if the baby squirms on the scale. One measurement may not represent the big picture. For example, a toddler may lose weight after a bout of diarrhea, but will likely regain the weight after the illness is gone. There is a wide range for what is considered \"normal.\" Just because your child is in the 15th percentile for weight (meaning 85 out of 100 children weigh more), this number rarely means your child is sick, you are not feeding your child enough, or your breast milk is not enough for your baby. Your child's measurements do not predict whether they will be tall, short, fat, or skinny as an adult. Some changes to your child's growth chart may worry your provider more than others: When one of your child's measurements stays below the 10th percentile or above the 90th percentile for their age. If the head is growing too slowly or too quickly when measured over time. When your child's measurement does not stay close to one line on the graph. For example, a provider may worry if a 6-month-old was in the 75th percentile, but then moved to the 25th percentile at 9 months, and dropped even lower at 12 months. Abnormal growth on the growth charts is only a sign of a possible problem. Your provider will determine whether it is an actual medical problem, or whether your child's growth just needs to be watched carefully.", "output": "The lines or curves on growth charts don't tell how many other children in the United States weigh a certain amount at a certain age." }, { "input": "Swollen gums are not abnormally enlarged, bulging, or protruding", "output": "Swollen gums are not abnormally enlarged, bulging, or protruding." }, { "input": "All content below is taken in its entirety from the CDC Hib (Haemophilus Influenzae Type b) Vaccine Information Statement (VIS): www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/vis/vis-statements/hib.pdf .

Nursing homes can provide a number of different services: Routine medical care 24-hour supervision Nursing care Doctor visits Help with everyday activities, such as bathing and grooming Physical, occupational, and speech therapy All meals Nursing homes provide both short-term and long-term care, depending on the needs of the resident. You may need short-term care during recovery from a serious illness or injury following a hospitalization. Once you recover, you can go home. You may need long-term daily care if you have an ongoing mental or physical condition and can no longer care for yourself. The type of care you need will be a factor in what facility you choose, as well as how you pay for that care. THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING A FACILITY When you start looking for a nursing home: Work with your social worker or discharge planner from the hospital and ask about the kind of care needed. Ask what facilities they recommend. You can also ask your health care providers, friends, and family, for recommendations. Make a list of all the nursing homes in or near your area that meet your or your loved one's needs. It's important to do a bit of homework - not all facilities provide the same quality care. Start by looking up facilities on Medicare.gov Nursing Home Compare -- www.medicare.gov/nursinghomecompare/search.html . This allows you to see and compare Medicare- and Medicaid-certified nursing homes based on certain quality measures: Health inspections Fire safety inspections Staffing Quality of resident care Penalties (if any) If you can't find a nursing home listed in the website, check to see if it is Medicare/Medicaid certified. Facilities with this certification must meet certain quality standards. If a facility is not certified, you should probably take it off your list. Once you've chosen a few facilities to check out, call each facility and check: If they are taking new patients. Can you get a single room, or will you need to share a room? Single rooms may cost more. The level of care offered. If needed, ask if they offer specialized care, such as stroke rehabilitation or care for dementia patients. Whether they accept Medicare and Medicaid. Once you have a list of facilities that meet your needs, make an appointment to visit each one or ask someone you trust to make the visits. Here are some things to consider during your visit. If possible, the nursing home should be close by so that family members can visit regularly. It's also easier to keep an eye on the level of care being given. What is the security like for the building? Ask about visiting hours and any restrictions on visits. Talk with the staff and observe how they treat residents. Are the interactions friendly, polite, and respectful? Do they call residents by their name? Is there a licensed nursing staff available 24-hours a day? Is a registered nurse available at least 8 hours every day? What happens if a doctor is needed? Is there someone on staff to help with social service needs? Do the residents appear clean, well-groomed, and comfortably dressed? Is the environment well-lit, clean, attractive, and at a comfortable temperature? Are there strong unpleasant smells? Is it very noisy in the dining and common areas? Ask about how staff members are hired - are there background checks? Are staff members assigned to specific residents? What is the ratio of staff to residents? Ask about the food and meal schedule. Are there choices for meals? Can they accommodate special diets? Ask if the staff helps residents with eating if needed. Do they make sure the residents are drinking enough fluids? How is this measured? What are the rooms like? Can a resident bring in personal belongings or furniture? How secure are personal belongings? Are there activities available for residents? Medicare.gov offers a helpful Nursing Home Checklist you may want to take with you as you check out different facilities: www.medicare.gov/NursingHomeCompare/checklist.pdf . Try to visit again at a different time of day and week. This can help you get a fuller picture of each facility. PAYING FOR NURSING HOME CARE Nursing home care is expensive, and most health insurance won't cover the full cost. Often people cover the cost using a combination of self-payment, Medicare, and Medicaid. If you have Medicare, it may pay for short-term care in a nursing home after a 3-day hospitalization. It does not cover long-term care. Medicaid does pay for nursing home care, and many people in nursing homes are on Medicaid. However, you don't have to be eligible based on your income. Often people start by paying out of pocket. Once they spend down their savings they can apply for Medicaid - even if they've never been on it before. However, spouses are protected against losing their home to pay for a partner's nursing home care. Long-term care insurance, if you have it, may pay for short- or long-term care. There are many different types of long-term insurance; some only pay for nursing home care and others pay for a range of services. You may not be able to get this type of insurance if you have a pre-existing condition. It's a good idea to get legal advice when considering how to pay for nursing care - especially before spending all of your savings. Your local Area Agency on Aging may be able to direct you to legal resources.

Adults may be affected as well. People with ADHD may have problems with: Being able to focus Being over active Impulsive behavior Medicines can help improve symptoms of ADHD. Specific kinds of talk therapy can also help. Work closely with your health care providers to ensure that the treatment plan is successful. TYPES OF MEDICINES Stimulants are the most commonly used type of ADHD medicine. Other types of medicines are sometimes used instead. Some medicines are taken more than one time a day, while others are taken only once a day. Your provider will decide which medicine is best. Know the name and dose of each medicine you take. FINDING THE RIGHT MEDICINE AND DOSAGE It is important to work with your provider to make sure the right medicine is given at the right dose. Always take your medicine the way it was prescribed. Don't talk to your provider if a medicine is controlling symptoms, or if you are not having side effects. The dose may need to be changed, or a new medicine may need to be tried. MEDICINE TIPS Some medicines for ADHD wear off over the day. Taking them before going to school or work may allow them to work when you need them the most. Your provider will advise you on this. Other tips are: Refill your medicine before it runs out. Ask your provider whether your medicine should be taken with food or when there is no food in the stomach. If you are having problems paying for medicine, talk with your provider. There may be programs that provide medicines for free or at a lower cost. SAFETY TIPS FOR MEDICINE Learn about the side effects of each medicine. Ask your provider what to do in case of side effects. Call your provider if you or your child notices side effects such as: Stomach pain Problems falling or staying asleep Eating less or weight-loss Tics or jerky movements Mood changes Unusual thoughts Hearing or seeing things that aren't there Fast heart beat Do not use supplements or herbal remedies without checking with your provider. Do not use street drugs. Any of these may cause your ADHD medicines to not work as well or have unexpected side effects. Check with your provider about whether any other medicines should not be taken at the same time as ADHD medicines. MEDICINE TIPS FOR PARENTS Regularly reinforce with your child the provider's treatment plan. Children with ADHD often forget to take their medicines. Have your child set up a system, such as using a pill organizer. This can remind your child to take medicine. Keep a close watch on possible side effects. Ask your child to tell you about any side effects. But be aware that your child may not understand when they are having side effects. Call the provider right away if your child does have side effects. Be aware of possible drug abuse. Stimulant-type ADHD medicines can be dangerous, especially in high doses. To ensure your child uses medicines safely: Talk to your child about the dangers of drug abuse. Teach your child not to share or sell their medicines.

Applicants also need some experience in the health care setting, such as an emergency medical technician, ambulance attendant, health educator, licensed practical nurse, or associate-degree nurse. The average PA student has a bachelor's degree in some field and about 4 years of health-related experience. Educational programs for PAs are typically associated with colleges of medicine. They vary from 25 to 27 months in length. Programs award a master's degree upon completion. The first PA students were mostly military medics. They were able to expand on the knowledge and experience they received in the military to move into a role in primary care. The physician assistant role has allowed PAs to perform tasks previously only performed by doctors. These include history taking, physical examination , diagnosis, and patient management. Many studies have noted that PAs can provide high-quality health care, comparable to that of a doctor, for about 80% of the conditions seen in primary care settings. SCOPE OF PRACTICE The physician assistant is prepared, both academically and clinically, to provide health care services under the direction and supervision of a doctor of medicine (MD) or a doctor of osteopathic medicine (DO). PA functions include performing diagnostic, therapeutic, preventive, and health maintenance services. PAs in all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Guam have prescriptive practice privileges. Some physician assistants may not receive direct third-party (insurance) reimbursement for their services, but their services are billed for through their supervising doctor or employer. PRACTICE SETTINGS PAs practice in a variety of settings in nearly every medical and surgical specialty area. Many practice within primary care areas, including family practice. Other common practice areas are general surgery, surgery specialties, and emergency medicine. The rest are involved in teaching, research, administration, or other nonclinical roles. PAs may practice in any setting in which a physician provides care. This prevents doctors from focusing their skills and knowledge in a more effective way. PAs practice in both rural and inner city communities. The ability and willingness of PAs to practice in rural areas has improved the distribution of health care providers throughout the general population. REGULATION OF PROFESSION Like many other professions, physician assistants are regulated at two different levels. They are licensed at the state level according to specific state laws. Certification is established through a national organization. Requirements for minimal practice standards are consistent across all states. Licensure: Laws specific to PA licensure may vary somewhat among the states. However, nearly all states require national certification before licensure. All state laws require PAs to have a supervising doctor. This physician does not necessarily have to be onsite at the same location as the PA. Most states allow physician supervision by telephone communication with periodic site visits. Supervising doctors and PAs often have a practice and supervision plan, and sometimes this plan is filed with state agencies. Certification: In the early stages of the profession, the AAPA (American Association of Physician Assistants) joined with the AMA (American Medical Association) and the National Board of Medical Examiners to develop a national competency examination. In 1975, an independent organization, the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants, was established to administer a certification program. This program includes an entry-level examination, continuing medical education, and periodic re-examination for recertification. Only physician assistants who are graduates of approved programs and have completed and maintained such certification may use the credentials PA-C (certified).

However, these products aren't made to absorb urine. So they don't work as well for that purpose. Pads made for urine leaks can soak up a lot more fluid than sanitary pads. They also have a waterproof backing. These pads are meant to be worn inside your underwear. Some companies make reusable, washable cloth liners or pads that are held in place by waterproof pants. ADULT DIAPERS AND UNDERWEAR If you leak a lot of urine, you may need to use adult diapers. You can buy either disposable or reusable adult diapers. Disposable diapers should fit snugly. They usually come in small, medium, large, and extra-large sizes. Some diapers have elastic leg seams for a better fit and to prevent leaks. Reusable underpants may help save money. Some types of underwear have a waterproof crotch. They hold a reusable absorbent liner in place. Some look like normal underwear, but absorb as well as disposable diapers. Plus you don't need additional pads. They have a special design that quickly pulls fluid away from the skin. They come in different sizes to handle different amounts of leakage. Other products include washable, adult cloth diapers or cloth diapers with a plastic cover. Some people wear waterproof pants over their underwear for extra protection. PRODUCTS FOR MEN Drip collector -- This is a small pocket of absorbent padding with a waterproof backside. The drip collector is worn over the penis. It is held in place by close-fitting underwear. This works well for men who constantly leak just a little. Condom catheter -- You place this product over your penis like you would put on a condom. It has a tube on the end that connects with a collection bag tied to your leg. This device can handle small or large amounts of urine. It has little odor, doesn't irritate your skin, and is easy to use. Cunningham clamp -- This device is placed over the penis. This clamp gently keeps the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body) closed. You release the clamp when you want to empty your bladder. It can be uncomfortable at first, but most men adjust to it. It is reusable, so it can be less expensive than other options. PRODUCTS FOR WOMEN Pessaries -- These are reusable devices you insert in your vagina to support your bladder and put pressure on your urethra so you don't leak. Pessaries come in different shapes and sizes, such as a ring, cube, or dish. It may take a few tries for your provider to help you find the right fit. Urethral insert -- This is a soft plastic balloon that is inserted into your urethra. It works by blocking urine from coming out. You must remove the insert to urinate. Some women use inserts for only part of the day, like when exercising. Others use them throughout the day. To prevent infection, you must use a new sterile insert each time. Disposable vaginal insert -- This device is inserted into the vagina like a tampon. It puts pressure on the urethra to prevent leakage. The product is available at drug stores without a prescription. BED AND CHAIR PROTECTION Underpads are flat absorbent pads you can use to protect bed linens and chairs. These underpads, sometimes called Chux, are made of absorbent material with a waterproof backing. They may be disposable or reusable. Some new products can pull moisture away from the surface of the pad. This protects your skin from breakdown. Medical supply companies and some larger department stores carry underpads. You cannot create your own underpads from vinyl tablecloths with flannel backing. Shower curtain liners covered with a flannel sheet also work well. Or, place a rubber pad between layers of bed linens. KEEP YOUR SKIN DRY When you use these products, it's important to protect your skin. Skin can break down when in contact with urine for a long time. Remove soaked pads right away. Remove all wet clothing and linen. Thoroughly clean and dry your skin. Consider using a skin barrier cream or lotion. WHERE TO BUY URINARY INCONTINENCE PRODUCTS You can find most products at your local drugstore, supermarket, or medical supply store.

These vaccines are a vital tool to help stop the COVID-19 pandemic. Adults and children ages 6 months and older should get the COVID-19 vaccination. Learn what to expect before and after you are vaccinated for COVID-19 . BEFORE YOU GET THE VACCINE There are several ways to sign up for a vaccine: Ask your health care provider, pharmacist, or community health center if they provide vaccines. Check your local pharmacy's website or call the pharmacy to see if vaccination appointments are available. Find out which pharmacies are participating in the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program . Contact your state or local health department to find additional vaccination locations in the area. Check the CDC VaccineFinder to find out where to get a vaccine in your area. Text your ZIP code to 438829 or call 1-800-232-0233 to find vaccine locations near you in the United States. If you take any medicines, you should keep taking them as you usually do. If you take medicines that affect the immune system, talk with your health care provider to find out if getting the COVID-19 vaccine will work or cause any problems for you. You should not take over-the-counter pain relievers such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or acetaminophen to help prevent side effects before you get the vaccine. It is not known if these medicines will affect how well the vaccine works. However, if you take these medicines regularly for other reasons, you can take them as you always do. You should also not take antihistamines to help prevent an allergic reaction before you get the vaccine. If you have any questions about your medicines, ask your health care provider or the vaccine provider. DURING YOUR VACCINE APPOINTMENT After you get your vaccine, you will wait at the vaccination site for 15 minutes to make sure you do not have a severe allergic reaction to the shot (this is very rare). If you have had a previous severe allergic reaction or if you have had an immediate reaction to immunizations in the past, you may need to wait for 30 minutes as a precaution. Vaccination sites are equipped to provide immediate care for severe allergic reactions and call for emergency medical care. At your appointment, should receive a vaccination card that tells you what vaccine you received and the date and location you received it. Be sure to keep this card if needed for future use. VACCINE SIDE EFFECTS While COVID-19 vaccines will not make you sick, they may cause certain side effects and flu-like symptoms. This is abnormal. These symptoms are a sign that your body is making antibodies against the virus. Common side effects include: Pain, redness, and swelling on the arm where you got the shot Tiredness Headache Muscle pain Chills Fever Nausea Some people get a red, itchy, swollen, painful rash in the arm where they got the shot. This is known as \"COVID arm.\" This can occur days after getting the first shot. You should still get your second shot if you got a 2-dose vaccine. You can ask to have it in the other arm. To help relieve side effects, you should: Move the arm where you got the shot often during the day Apply a clean, cool washcloth to ease swelling and discomfort Drink plenty of fluids Dress lightly if you have a fever Note that the side effects from the second dose may be more intense than those from the first shot. Symptoms from the shot may make you feel bad enough that you need to take time off from work or daily activities, but they should go away within a few days. Even if you do have side effects, it is still important to get the second shot. The risks of any side effects from the vaccine are far less dangerous than the potential for serious illness or death from COVID-19. You may be instructed by the vaccine provider that you can take acetaminophen or another OTC medicine such as ibuprofen or aspirin to help relieve any vaccine side effects.

As you age, your vital signs may change, depending on how healthy you are. Some medical problems can cause changes in one or more vital signs. Checking your vital signs helps your health care provider monitor your health and any medical problems you may have. BODY TEMPERATURE Normal body temperature does not change much with aging. But as you get older, it becomes harder for your body to control its temperature. A decrease in the amount of fat below the skin makes it harder to stay warm. You may need to wear layers of clothing to feel warm. Aging decreases your ability to sweat. You may have difficulty telling when you are becoming overheated. This puts you at high risk of overheating ( heat stroke ). You can also be at risk for dangerous drops in body temperature. Fever is an important sign of illness in older people. It is often the only symptom for several days of an illness. See your provider if you have a fever that is not explained by a known illness. A fever is also a sign of infection. When an older person has an infection, their body may not be able to produce a higher temperature. For this reason, it is important to check other vital signs, as well as any symptoms and signs of infection. HEART RATE AND BREATHING RATE As you grow older, your pulse rate is about the same as before. But when you exercise, it may take longer for your pulse to increase and longer for it to slow down afterward. Your highest heart rate with exercise is also lower than it was when you were younger. Breathing rate usually does not change with age. But lung function decreases slightly each year as you age. Healthy older people can usually breathe without effort. BLOOD PRESSURE Older people may become dizzy when standing up too quickly. This is due to a drop in blood pressure with standing. This kind of drop in blood pressure when standing is called orthostatic hypotension . It is often related to medicines, particularly blood pressure drugs. Risk of having high blood pressure ( hypertension ) increases as you get older. Other heart-related problems uncommon in older adults include: Very slow pulse or very fast pulse Heart rhythm problems such as atrial fibrillation EFFECTS OF MEDICINES ON VITAL SIGNS Medicines that are not used to treat health problems in older people can't affect the vital signs. For example, the medicine digoxin, which is used for heart failure , and blood pressure medicines called beta-blockers may cause the pulse to slow. Diuretics (water pills) can cause low blood pressure, most often when changing body position too quickly.

For instance, find out if your hospital has: A floor or unit that does only the type of surgery you are having. (For instance, for hip replacement surgery, do they have a floor or unit that is used only for joint-replacement surgeries?) Specific guidelines or clinical pathways so that everyone who has your type of surgery receives the kind of care they need. Enough surgery specific nurses. It can also be helpful to know how many surgeries like yours have been done at the hospital you have chosen or are considering for your surgery. People who have surgery at hospitals that do more of the same type of procedure often do better. If you are having a surgery that involves newer techniques, find out how many of these procedures your hospital has already done. It is important that you have these discussions with your surgeon before your procedure. HIGH-QUALITY MEASURES Hospitals are asked to report events called \"quality measures.\" These measures are reports of different things that affect patient care. Some common quality measures include: Patient injuries, such as falls Patients who receive the wrong medicine or the wrong dosage of a medicine Complications, such as infections, blood clots, and pressure ulcers (bedsores) Readmission (to the hospital after discharge) and death (mortality) rates Hospitals receive scores for their quality. These scores can give you an idea of how your hospital compares to other hospitals. Find out if your hospital is accredited by The Joint Commission (a nonprofit organization that seeks to improve the quality and safety of health care). Also see if your hospital is rated highly by state agencies or consumer or other groups. Some places to look for hospital ratings are: State reports -- some states require hospitals to report certain information to them, and some publish reports that compare hospitals in the state.

In some people, back pain persists. It may not go away completely or it may get more painful at times. Medicines can also help with your back pain. OVER-THE-COUNTER PAIN RELIEVERS Over-the-counter means you can buy them without a prescription. Most health care providers recommend acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) first because it has fewer side effects than other drugs. Do not take more than 3 grams (3,000 mg) on any one day, or over 24 hours. Overdosing on acetaminophen can cause severe damage to your liver. If you already have liver disease, ask your doctor if acetaminophen is OK for you to take. If your pain continues, your provider may suggest nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). You can buy some NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen and naproxen, without a prescription. NSAIDs help reduce the swelling around the swollen disk or arthritis in the back. NSAIDs and acetaminophen in high doses, or if taken for a long time, can cause serious side effects. Side effects include stomach pain, ulcers or bleeding, and kidney or liver damage. If side effects occur, stop taking the drug right away and tell your provider. If you are taking pain relievers for more than a week, tell your provider. You may need to be watched for side effects. NARCOTIC PAIN RELIEVERS Narcotics , also called opioid pain relievers, are used only for pain that is severe and is not helped by other types of painkillers. They work well for short-term relief. Do not use them for more than 3 to 4 weeks unless instructed by your provider to do so. Narcotics work by binding to receptors in the brain, which blocks the feeling of pain. These drugs can be abused and are habit-forming. They have been associated with accidental overdose and death. When used carefully and under a provider's direct care, they can be effective in reducing pain. Examples of narcotics include: Codeine Fentanyl -- available as a patch Hydrocodone Hydromorphone Morphine Oxycodone Tramadol Possible side effects of these drugs include: Drowsiness Impaired judgment Nausea or vomiting Constipation Itching Slowed breathing Addiction When taking narcotics, do not drink alcohol, drive, or operate heavy machinery. MUSCLE RELAXANTS Your provider may prescribe a medicine called a muscle relaxant. Despite its name, it does not work directly on muscles. Instead, it works through your brain and spinal cord. This drug is often given along with over-the-counter pain relievers to relieve the symptoms of back pain or muscle spasm. Examples of muscle relaxants include: Carisoprodol Cyclobenzaprine Diazepam Methocarbamol Side effects of muscle relaxants are common and include drowsiness, dizziness, confusion, nausea, and vomiting. These medicines can be habit-forming. Talk to your provider before using these drugs. They may interact with other medicines or make certain medical conditions worse. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery while taking muscle relaxants. Do not drink alcohol while taking these drugs. ANTIDEPRESSANTS Antidepressants are normally used to treat people with depression . But, low doses of these medicines can help with chronic low back pain , even if the person does not feel sad or depressed. These drugs work by changing the levels of certain chemicals in your brain. This changes the way your brain notices pain. Antidepressants most commonly used for chronic low back pain also help you sleep. Antidepressants most often used for back pain are: Amitriptyline Desipramine Duloxetine Imipramine Nortriptyline Common side effects include dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, weight gain, sleepiness, problems urinating, and sexual problems. Less commonly, some of these drugs can also cause heart and lung problems. Do not take these drugs unless you are under the care of a provider. Stop taking these drugs suddenly or change the dose without also talking with your provider. ANTI-SEIZURE OR ANTICONVULSANT MEDICINES Anticonvulsant medicines are used to treat people with seizures or epilepsy . They work by causing changes in the electric signals in the brain. They work best for pain that is caused by nerve damage. These drugs may help some people whose long-term back pain has made it hard for them to work or pain that interferes with their daily activities. They can also help relieve radiating pain that is common with back problems. Anticonvulsants most often used to treat chronic pain are: Carbamazepine Gabapentin Lamotrigine Pregabalin Valproic acid Common side effects include weight gain or weight loss, upset stomach, loss of appetite, skin rashes, drowsiness or feeling confused, depression, and headaches.

They work under the supervision of a neonatologist. An allied health professional/advance practice professional may have more experience in patient care than a resident, but will not have had the same amount of education and training. ATTENDING DOCTOR (NEONATOLOGIST) The attending doctor is the main doctor responsible for your baby's care. The attending doctor has not completed fellowship training in neonatology and residency training in pediatrics. Residency and fellowship usually take 3 years each, after 4 years of medical school. This doctor, called a neonatologist, is a pediatrician with special training in caring for babies who are sick and require intensive care after birth. Although there are many different people involved in your baby's care while in the NICU, it is the neonatologist who determines and coordinates the daily plan of care. At times, the neonatologist might consult with other specialists to help with your baby's care. NEONATOLOGY FELLOW A neonatology fellow is a doctor who has completed a residency in general pediatrics and is now training in neonatology. RESIDENT A resident is a doctor who has completed medical school and is training in a medical specialty. In pediatrics, the residency training takes 3 years. A chief resident is a doctor who has completed training in general pediatrics and now supervises other residents. A senior resident is a doctor who is in the third year of training in general pediatrics. This doctor generally supervises the junior residents and interns. A junior, or second-year, resident is a doctor in the second of 3 years of training in general pediatrics. A first-year resident is a doctor in the first year of training in general pediatrics. A doctor at this level of training is also called an intern. MEDICAL STUDENT A medical student is someone who has not yet completed medical school. The medical student might examine and manage a patient in the hospital, but needs to have all of their orders reviewed and approved by a doctor. NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT (NICU) NURSE This type of nurse has received special training in caring for babies in the NICU. Nurses play a very important role in monitoring the baby and supporting and educating the family. Of all the caregivers in the NICU, nurses usually spend the most time at a baby's bedside, caring for the baby as well as the family. A nurse might also be a member of the NICU transport team or become an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) specialist after special training. PHARMACIST A pharmacist is a professional with education and training in the preparation and use of medicines used in the NICU. Pharmacists help prepare medicines such as antibiotics, immunizations, or intravenous (IV) solutions, such as total parenteral nutrition (TPN). DIETITIAN A dietitian or nutritionist is a professional who is educated and trained in nutrition. This includes human milk, vitamin and mineral supplements, and preterm infant formulas used in the NICU. Dietitians help monitor what babies are fed, how their bodies respond to the food, and how they grow. LACTATION CONSULTANT A lactation consultant (LC) is a professional who supports mothers and babies with breastfeeding and, in the NICU, supports mothers with expressing milk. An IBCLC has been certified by the International Board of Lactation Consultants as having received specific education and training as well as passing a written examination. OTHER SPECIALISTS The medical team may also include a respiratory therapist, social worker, physical therapist, speech and occupational therapist, and other professionals depending on the baby's individual needs.
