Case scenario example
Mr. B is in Med-Surg recovering after hip surgery. He is over 65 and obese, but has no other risk factors for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Still, the physician suggests he be monitored for symptoms, ambulated early if he presents with DVT, and provided appropriate education for prevention.
You don’t have time to do all this research, so decide to use DynaMed. You hope to find a summary noting symptoms and evidence for early ambulation, prevention guidelines for post-surgical patients, as well as a handout on prevention for Mr B.

Exercise 1
14
Mrs. T visits the clinic, complaining she can’t sleep due to “nervous legs”. The physician suspects “Restless Leg Syndrome” (RLS) and prescribes pramipexole. Mrs. T seems concerned about taking the medication so you wonder whether non-pharmacological approaches, such as exercise, may be effective in relieving symptoms.
1. Search for a report on RLS
2. Is there good evidence that exercise relieves RLS symptoms?
3. What do AASM guidelines say about non-pharmacological therapies?
4. Is there at least one patient handout that discusses both therapies?

Exercise 2
15
A 65 yo man presents to the ED complaining of chest pain, fatigue and weakness. He is diagnosed with heart failure and prescribed a diuretic. You wonder if diuretics can effectively reduce his risk of death from heart failure and if there are any guidelines highlighting non-pharmacological ways to prevent recurrence.
1. Search for a report on heart failure
2. Is there good evidence that diuretics improve mortality rates?
3. Are there any guidelines for non-pharmacologic management?
4. Is there at least one patient handout noting ways to reduce his risk for heart failure?
