Study Notes
- Ability to fulfill necessary practices for drug administration
- Understand the definition of drugs, classify, know their effects on the body
- Explain request, supply, and storage, know ways of administering and applying drug practices
Contents
- Description of drugs, classification, action modes, and factors affecting the patient
- Supply and storage of medicine and physician medication order
- Ways of administration, drug applications including enteral and parenteral applications
Drugs
- Obtained from animal, vegetable, mineral, and synthetic sources
- Chemical changes used to diagnose, cure, or prevent disease
- Substances that change body functions when taken
- Medicines have different forms with special contents
Drug Administration
- A core function that requires technical skills
- Requires adequate knowledge and skills to administer medications
Classification of Drugs
- Dosage forms are solids, liquids, semi-solids, and gases
- Solids include unit dosages like tablets and capsules, and bulk dosages like tooth powder
- Liquids include monophasic liquids like syrups and lotions, and biphasic liquids like emulsions and suspensions
- Semi-solids include creams, ointments, pastes, and gels, and suppositories and pessaries
- Gaseous forms include aerosols and inhalations
Factors Affecting Drug Activity
- Growth period (newborn, elderly) and weight
- Gender and genetic and cultural factors
- Psychological factors and Illnesses
- Environment, treatment time, and individual differences
- Adverse effects of the drug
Drug Interactions
- Synergism shows more efficacy when two or more drugs are combined
- Additional effect is an increase in the effect of drugs on the body by taking effective drugs together
- Potentialization means the effect of two drugs that enhance the effects of these drugs alone
- Antagonism means the effect of a drug that is reduced by another drug
- Naloxone administration is an example of antagonism to reduce narcotic effects
Drug metabolism
- Occurs in 4 stages
- Absorption
- Transport (distribution)
- Change (disintegration)
- Excretion (elimination)
Supply and Storage of Drugs
- Keep drugs in a locked room and store them in a clean, closed, dry, and cool place
- Tightly close bottles to prevent evaporation, and medicines should be kept in the refrigerator
- Vaccines and serums need refrigeration and replace if the label is dirty
- Discard expired medicines, and ensure artificial lighting for the medicine cabinet
- Keep emergency medications in a separate compartment, keep drugs with the same effect together
- The cabinet should be large enough for all patient medications, and narcotics in a double-locked cabinet
- Addictive drugs need recording/signature and place RED label on poisonous drugs
Physician Medication Order
- For safe administration it must be in writing, except in emergencies where a written order is not legally required
- Request can be regular, necessary, or urgent (single dose)
Parts of Physician Medication Order
- Patient name, date and time, drug name to be administered
- Dose, route, frequency, and the doctor signature
Doctor's Orders
- Checked by health care professionals every morning and input into their system
- Observation sheets should be used for recording, and consult a doctor in case of doubt
Post Checking Doctor's Orders
- Write down date and time and sign
- Draw a line to avoid written medication error
10 Rights of Medication Administration
- Right Patient (Separate named patients)
- Right Medication
- Right Dosage
- Right Route
- Right Time
- Right Documentation
- Right Client Education
- Right to Refuse
- Right Assessment
- Right Evaluation
Details of 10 Rights
- Always check the patient identification bracelet and ask their name/birth date
- Compare the order to the bracelet and confirm allergies with the chart
- Check medication labels three times, including when retrieving and preparing the medication
- Always check the medication with the physician’s orders
- Never administer medications prepared by another person or unlabeled
- Check the label for correct concentrations, compare dose to the order, and check calculations with another nurse
- Verify that the dosage is appropriate, verify the schedule of medication with order
- Check last dose given and give medication within 30 minutes of its schedule
- Verify appropriate route, which may only be administered via the ordered route
- Never document before drug is administered, use signature and credentials from nurse, must document in med chart
- Record what drug was given, what dosage, what route, date and time, name of nurse
- Inform patient of the medicine and it's desired effects
- Always remember that they can refuse but inform the patient of the risks
- Ask if they have any known allergies and provide appropriate med education
- Notify the doctor if they refuse
Basic Principles of Drug Applications
- 10 rights of drug administration should be known and hands should be washed
- We should introduce ourselves to the patient, inform the patient of the procedure, and obtain their verbal consent
- Patient confidentiality should be taken into consideration, and the patient should be positioned appropriately
- Keep materials in the tray, ensure the patient takes their medications, observe the patient before and after
- Health care workers should prepare medicines themselves, and correct any incorrect illegible medicine order
To Ensure Accuracy
- Prepare for drug administration which should be tidy
- Be in a bright surrounding
Safe Handling
- Be certain the patient is recorded in a logbook
Additional Considerations
- Patient ID should be checked
- For oral medications, wait until the patient swallows it
- The medication should be administered in time, and have enough knowledge on every drug
- The family must be informed, and medicals given must be in the tray
Recording Narcotic Drugs
- Green and Re prescription drugs must be double locked and counted
Types of Drug Administration
- All drug administrations, you perform what is "Necessary For all Medications
Drug Absorption Rates
- Fasting Intracardiac (15 seconds), Intravenous (30-60 seconds), Inhalation (3 minutes), and Endotracheal (3 minutes)
- Medium time Sublingual (3-5 minutes), Intramuscular( 10-20 minutes) Subcutan minutes (15-30 minutes)
- Slow Rates Rectal ( 5-30 minutes) Oral min(30-90 minutes) , Intradermal minutes (15-30 minutes) and Dermal It can change
Calculations
- Teaglass is equal to 100 mililiters, glass of water is 250, table spoon is 15 ml and a Dessert spoon = 4 to 5
Considerations for any Drug
- Local or systemic effects after being taken into the body (Local Administration Sites/Systemic Administration, and metabolism effect
- Ways of drugs relating to how they work, depending on patient depending the drug, the dose, of the way is administered, with medicals
Local Administration Sites
- Drug should be applied for Epidermal, Conjunctival sac, Intranasal, Intravaginal, and External ear-canal
Systemic Administration Site
- Drug should be applied for Enteral drug, Parenteral, Inhalation, and Transdermal
Administration
- If first time eye drop should be eye and cold temperature
- Use clean eye by canus, and patient can't touch eye wall
- One medication to other will cause other health eye patient will need at least 5 minutes of injection
