Episode Title: It’s Just a Pain Pill… Until It’s SNOT

Podcast: Code Brown and Coffee

Tagline: Pour the coffee—things are about to get clinical.

Think over-the-counter meds are harmless? Think again. In this episode, Kae and Poppy are tackling one of the sneakiest sources of patient harm: the everyday meds hiding in purses, glove compartments, and bathroom cabinets everywhere. From acetaminophen overload to NSAID-induced GI bleeds, they unpack the "invisible risks" behind the meds we all assume are safe.

You'll learn how to:

  • Teach clients to spot hidden ingredients (spoiler: it’s always in the “-quils”)
  • Prevent liver failure with acetaminophen safety tips that actually stick
  • Explain NSAID risks in language your patients will remember
  • Debunk myths about antacids, nose sprays, eye drops, and topicals
  • Advocate for vulnerable populations like older adults, children, and pregnant clients

With real-world teaching strategies, a splash of humor, and a dose of good-old nursing sass, this episode turns basic patient education into a life-saving intervention.

👃 It’s just a pain pill—until it’s SNOT.

☕ Stay caffeinated. Stay clinical. Stay careful.
