Scenario Today, you are on rounds with the Internal Medicine team outside the patient’s room. Dr Graham, the attending physician, has diagnosed this patient with Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia and esophageal candidiasis. Dr Graham believes SC’s pneumonia is improving. SC will not be started on antiretroviral medications at this time. Nurse Jones steps out of the patient’s room and informs the team that the patient has become increasingly anxious overnight. Dr Graham would like recommendations from the pharmacist for SC.
