(Reuters Health) – Half of all heart patients made at least one medication-related mistake after
leaving the hospital, and guidance from a pharmacist didn’t seem to reduce those errors, in a new
study.
Consequences of mistakes – such as forgetting to take certain drugs or taking the wrong dose –
can range from side effects like constipation to more serious drops in blood pressure. Two
percent of errors were life-threatening.
Hospitals involved in the study were already taking steps to prevent medication mistakes in
addition to the extra pharmacist intervention, said Dr. Sunil Kripalani, the study’s lead author
from the Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee.
“We were surprised to see that in spite of these efforts that 50 percent (of patients) were still
having these medication errors,” he told Reuters Health.
Although the pharmacist visits didn’t help the average patient, he added, certain ones seemed to
benefit – such as patients who were on multiple drugs or had trouble understanding health
information.
As for traditionally lower-risk patients, he said other strategies to prevent errors may be needed.

devices. Social media are increasingly influencing the ways people spend their time and money

come to an agreement. But the earlier talks are a sign that they may form a stronger partnership
amid intensifying competition from companies like Google and Facebook.

has been strained since a deal to build Facebook featured into Ping, Apple’s music-centric social

Plus.

24. Gold is a precious metal. Gold is used as ornaments or as money.

Gold is found in many places, but in a small supply. It is often found on the surface of the earth.
Since gold is a heavy substance, it is sometimes found loose on the bottom of rivers. The gold is
found together with sand and rocks, and must be separated from them. It is simple to search for
this type of gold.
It is not usually necessary to drill for gold, but when a layer of gold is located deep below the
surface of the earth, it is possible to drill a hole into the ground. Engineers have developed
modern processes for removing gold from rocks.
Since gold is not very hard, it is sometimes melted and added to other substances for making
rings, coins, and art objects. It will be priced forever because it is beautiful, rare, and useful.

The best title of the text above is...

A. Type of Gold
B. Previous Metal
