Introduction
This paper entails a review of a case study of a patient with a medical history of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and seeks to integrate its findings by applying principles of quality use of medication (QUM) into the case scenario. An elderly 75-year-old is the main subject of this analysis with a smoking history and suffers from asthma. Among the subject's health symptoms include retinopathy and transient ischemic attack (TIA). This analysis will explore the QUM principles and focus on the effectiveness and safety use of medicines, as illustrated in the case. It will further describe strategies that can be implemented in efforts to educate patients on medicine use in consideration of ethical and socio-cultural aspects in the case. The patient of concern, who is the main subject in this paper, had a medical history of type 2 diabetes, respiratory issues as well as rheumatoid arthritis. 
Among the QUM principles to be discussed in this paper is judiciousness, which involves the wise selection of management options concerning a patient's medication. The principle of appropriation of medicine will focus on the suitability of the prescribed medicines for the patients. In the analysis of the principles of safety and effectiveness, the paper will focus on the effective use of medicines and their security based on benefiting the patient. All these factors will ensure that the analysis of the case narrows down to the quality use of drugs, medication management, and patient education. The paper will expound on the medical conditions that the subject is exposed to from the case study, which include type 2 diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis, and asthma. It will analyze them based on the QUM framework and their treatment procedures and describe various strategies that can be employed in the medical education of patients suffering from the mentioned medical conditions. It will further suggest recommendations that can be used for further research based on similar medical health conditions.
