arnold123: Stevens Johnson syndrome looks like burns and it is definitely a medication reaction. It involves the skin on the outside as well as inside e.g mouth, eyes, nose, lungs. That is why it is so dangerous. There is no way to predict it and it is treated like burns. It can be fatal depending on how much skin is involved. Hope the child pulls through. |

it is only in nigeria that an untrained person would administer something like drugs that can kill as much as it can save, without anybody doing anything about it. Even in ghana they are enlightened enough to know the dangers of drug administration by quacks. what a country!!! |

Jman06:Calm yourself. It's an adeverse reaction. Nurses do administer injections , transfuse blood , deliver babies and give dialysis treatment. An allergic reaction to the ingredients of the injection happens nothing to do with the nurse. Just as some people are allergic to penicillin. How do you know you are allergic to it? It's given and your body react. |

Jman06:Adverse reaction to medication has nothing to do with qualifications |

delishpot: How is it not the nurses fault? The first thing i get asked before being medicated by any doctor/nurse is if i am allergic to anything. To be doubly sure, he/she checks my medical records. Una too de used to rubbish for Nigeria. Smh. 1 Like 1 Share |

Jman06: Every medication you take can cause a lot of harm. Some drug reactions are very common while some are rare and life threatening. A nurse is trained and licensed to administer medications. In advanced societies, Medical doctors prescribe medications. Pharmacists and some nurses with advanced training are also licensed to prescribe with certain limitations that are determined by the need of the society. One of the big problems with Nigeria is that everybody has become a "Doctor" and you can walk into a pharmacy and buy whatever medicine you think you need - Very dangerous and sometimes can be fatal. |

nNEOo: Stop ur show of ignorance. Looks more like an allergic reaction to the medication which is nobody's fault. Just genetic variation. This is the reason we pray for Nigeria's healthcare system to upgrade to the level of 'tailor-made' Medical intervention. Maybe Genetic profiling would become commonplace one day. But when? At least d parents of dat girl can now identify one allergen their daughter reacts to. Leave nurses outta this. 1 Like |

I will address a few things 1. To those shouting from the roof tops,calm yourselves come down from up there and sit on this chair right here. 2. There is a lot of misinformation here so let's enlighten one another. Adverse reactions happen in that medical field, they happen at home. Someone mentioned why did that nurse get a medical history? To get a comprehensible medical history regular access to good healthcare is needed with accompanying notes. There is no centralised healthcare system in this country. No one knows they are allergic to anything unless you are exposed to it. Someone who is allergic to penicillin will know because of what happened when that person was given the drug. Do not vilify the nurse here , same thing happens to doctors as well. This has nothing to do with being qualified, doses , expiry date that's just ignorance based in misinformation it happens. 1 Like |

[quote author=delishpot post=56721273]He reacted to the medication. Not the nurse's fault.[/quot That's why its important that patient medical files are reviewed before drugs are given. So, the nurse could held liable. |

It's not as a result of expired drugs but a rare drug reaction. It's an unfortunate situation and the nurse might have to suffer for crossing her professional boundary which states that she takes instructions from a licensed physician before administering injection or drugs of any form. |

banmee: You are right on that one. But sometimes even doctors may not know. Esp if the patient has no record use of that medicine. How then would the patient know that he or she is allergic to it? You found out you are allergic to certain chemicals in some medicines after you used it right? So before you used it, if the doctor asked you if you were allergic to it, would you say yes? But you are right, the nurse should not diagnose and never administer drugs without doctors priscription |
Re: Little Girl Takes An Injection From A Nurse And This Happens To Her (Photos) by delishpot: 12:34pm On May 21, 2017 |
[quote author=adatemi post=56733337][/quote] True that, the nurse should never play the role of a doctor. I agree but the child reacting to the medication is not because the nurse gave some fake drug. She could have avoided this if she administered it with a doctor's prescription |

Re: Little Girl Takes An Injection From A Nurse And This Happens To Her (Photos) by adedarab: 12:36pm On May 21, 2017 |
So how was she meant to check if the immune system would tally with the meds!!!!! There is a device for that Its an allergic reaction which the patient or parent might not even be aware of. darbeelicous: |

ziga:The person that administered the drug is not a qualified nurse. I know the different kinds of ADR, and about idiosyncratic drug reactions. What I'm saying is that there is no regulation in nigeria as to the use of drugs. Drugs need to be controlled in nigeria, otherwise our healthcare system will remain a laughing stock. We need to do away with quacks! |

So, the nurse could be held liable. Patient medical file is necessary because it will provide medical practitioners with patient' s medical history including if they have ever had any reaction to any drugs & the medications that they are presently on. Sometimes taking 2 different medication can have adverse consequences if taken together. Well it's a lesson for us all. |

Re: Little Girl Takes An Injection From A Nurse And This Happens To Her (Photos) by Nobody: 12:39pm On May 21, 2017 |
This is quite unfortunate for the girl. I feel so sorry for her. Some have argued that it's SJ syndrome, while others have opined that the nurse was responsible and should be made to face the music for the cruel and insensitive act she had perpetrated. But these are all nothing but speculations, conjectures and personal opinion. There should be a thorough investigation into the matter and if it is established that this young, innocent child was made subject to such a horrible condition as a result of someone's negligence and carelessness, such a person musn't go unpunished, for this is just too cruel and horrific to be excused as a mistake. |

delishpot: When you are born, you are tested for allergies and this information goes with you for the rest of your life. Well at least in sane countries. I know my kids were. It is every parents responsibility to make sure this is done. The problem is Nigerians does not take anything serious until shiit goes south. |
Re: Little Girl Takes An Injection From A Nurse And This Happens To Her (Photos) by Jman06(m): 12:44pm On May 21, 2017 |
Raine80:Who diagnosed the child of the ''malaria'' and determined that that drug was suitable for her condition?? Do you know there's what is called 'history taking' that can help to determine if a particular drug will be appropriate for a patient or not? So much ignorance in nigeria! |
Re: Little Girl Takes An Injection From A Nurse And This Happens To Her (Photos) by godquality: 12:44pm On May 21, 2017 |
SirVintageCock:Sorry but i respectfully agree to disagree with you bco it's still a crime. Before giving a child or anybody an injection or drug, one should know the side effects it may have on that particular patient especially if one goes by the professional name "nurse". So shit doesn't just happen it mostly happen because of negligence. |
Re: Little Girl Takes An Injection From A Nurse And This Happens To Her (Photos) by delishpot: 12:47pm On May 21, 2017 |
banmee: That is over there na. In Nigeria, no one does that Shi on a public level. So there you have it. There is a deep rot in our society. Even abroad, people die due to severe reaction from administered medications. Shit happens over there too. |
