A homeless man who is well known to care providers at the local hospital has been admitted
to the emergency department after having a seizure outside a mall. The man is known to be a
heavy alcohol user and is malnourished with a very low body mass index. How are this
patient's characteristics likely to influence possible treatment with phenytoin?
Response
Feedback:
A protein deficit puts the patient at greater risk for having greater amounts of
free, active drug in the blood because less protein albumin is available for
binding than would normally be expected. Alcohol does not compete with
phenytoin for binding sites and the drug is not necessarily contraindicated
with recent alcohol intake, though alcohol does influence the metabolism of
phenytoin. Oral phenytoin would not significantly minimize the risk of

adverse effects.
