Many nurses with a diploma or associateâs degree later enter bachelorâs degree programs, so they can prepare to take on a broader range of roles. RNs with bachelorâs degrees are also qualified to work in community health promotion and disease prevention.
LINZESSÂ® (linaclotide) is a prescription medication used in adults to treat irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBSâC) and chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC). Idiopathic means the cause of the constipation is unknown. It is not known if LINZESS is safe and effective in children less than 18 years of age.
The medication, Linzess â¢, once ingested, will stay within the bowel and will bind to these GC-C receptors. This triggers a response in the intestinal cell to secrete water into the bowel improving constipation. And for those who take the higher dose of medication for IBS-C, there is a second reaction within the cell.
