Study Notes
Nursing Process in Drug Administration
- The nursing process ensures safe, effective drug administration by conducting assessments, planning care, implementing interventions, and evaluating outcomes.
- Assessing symptoms and patient history informs medication needs and helps mitigate risks.
- Gathering both subjective (patient-reported) and objective (measured) data is crucial during initial assessments.
Drug Effects and Therapy Issues
- An adverse drug effect can be defined as a severe reaction that may harm a patient's health.
- Patients often neglect to mention over-the-counter drugs, herbal supplements, or recent medication changes.
- Understanding past issues with drug therapy helps tailor future treatments and improve patient safety.
Identifying the Right Patient
- Correct identification of patients before drug administration is vital for preventing errors.
- Utilize at least two identifiers (e.g., name and date of birth) to ensure accurate patient identification.
- For those hard of hearing or confused, comparison of wristband details with verbal confirmation may be necessary.
The Nine Rights of Drug Administration
- The Nine Rights include Right Patient, Right Drug, Right Dose, Right Route, Right Time, Right Documentation, Right Reason, Right Response, and Right to Refuse.
- Ensuring adherence to these rights is essential for administering meds safely and effectively.
Role of Nursing Staff
- Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs/VNs) focus on patient assessment, care planning, and execution of nursing duties within their scope.
- Responsibilities include gathering patient information, assessing drug history, and developing nursing care plans.
- LPNs/VNs must be aware of regulations regarding who can write drug orders, typically including physicians and nurse practitioners according to state laws.
Evaluation and Planning
- Evaluation of patient responses post-administration guides future care decisions and adjustments.
- Setting short-term and long-term goals assists in delivering comprehensive nursing care tailored to individual patient needs.
- Factors such as drug side effects, patient condition, and health history should be included in care planning.
Importance of Drug Label Checks
- Nurses should check drug labels multiple times to confirm the right medication is administered, minimizing potential medication errors.
- In case of confusion or unclear drug orders, nurses must seek clarification to prevent potential harm to the patient.
Subjective vs. Objective Data
- Subjective data includes the patient's feelings, perceptions, and experiences regarding their medication or health status.
- Objective data consists of measurable or observable facts, including vital signs and lab results.
Demand for LPNs/VNs
- Increased demand for LPNs/VNs stems from an aging population, healthcare accessibility, and a growing focus on patient-centered care.
- LPNs/VNs primarily practice within hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, and home health environments.
Overall Nursing Care Plan Purpose
- Incorporating patient problems within care plans enhances the process of medication administration, ensuring all aspects of patient health are considered.
- This holistic approach supports the delivery of safe and targeted therapeutic outcomes.
