Drugs
- Drugs originate from animal, vegetable, mineral, and synthetic sources.
- Drugs induce chemical changes to diagnose, cure, or prevent diseases.
- Drugs are substances altering bodily functions when taken by a living organism.
- Medicines come in various forms, each with special contents.
Drug Administration
- Drug administration is a core function requiring technical skills.

Factors Affecting Drug Activity
- Growth period (newborn, elderly)
- Weight
- Gender
- Genetic and cultural factors
- Psychological factors
- Illnesses
- Environment
- Treatment time
- Adverse effect of the drug
- Individual differences
Interaction of Drugs
Synergism
- Shows more efficacy when two or more drugs are used together.
- An example is tuberculosis treatment.
Additional
- Involves an increase in the effect of drugs on the body when taking the same effective drug together.
Potentialization
- The effect of two drugs given together is more than the sum of the effects of the individual drugs alone.
Antagonism
- The effect of a drug is reduced by another drug.
- An example is the administration of naloxone to reduce the effect of narcotics.
Drug metabolism
- Consists of absorption, transport/distribution, change/disintegration, and excretion/elimination.
Supply and Storage
- Keep drugs locked in the same room.
- Store the drugs in a clean, closed, dry, and cool place.
- Tightly close the bottles to prevent the drugs from evaporating and becoming moist.
- Keep oily, diluted medicines in the refrigerator or cold, within their expiration date.
- Keep vaccines and serums in the refrigerator.
- Replace the medicine if the label is dirty.
- Medicines that are expired or have changed color, odor or appearances should not be used.
- There should be artificial lighting installation where the medicine cabinet is located.
- Keep emergency medications in a separate compartment.
- Keep medicines that have the same effect together.
- The medicine cabinet should be large enough to hold all patient medications.
- Keep addictive (narcotic) drugs in a double-locked cabinet with a signature system.
- Use a red label should be placed on poisonous drugs.
Physician Medication Order
- For safe drug administration, a physician medication order must be in writing.

Parts of Physician Medication Order
- Name of the patient
- Date and time
- Name of the drug to be administered
- The dose of the drug
- Drug administration routes
- Application frequency
- Signature of the doctor who wrote the order
- Doctor orders are checked by healthcare professionals every morning.
- The hours are adjusted and transferred to their own recording system.
- Observation sheets are used for recording.
- Consult a physician if there is any doubt about the request.
- After checking, the date, time and sign must be placed under the doctor's order.

- Sublingual (3-5 min)
- Intramuscular (10-20 min)
- Subcutan (15-30 min)
- Oral (30-90 min)
Conversions
- 1cc = 1ml = 10 dizy = 100 unit = 20 drops
- 4-5 ml = 1 dessert spoon
- 15 ml = 1 tablespoon
- 250 ml = 1 glass of water
- 100ml = 1 tea glass
After Taking Routes
- Can have local our systemic side effects.

Local Routes
- Skin
- Eye
- Nose
- vAginal

VI
pt privacy and tablet cream before.
Ear
- in childer down and baack, up and back in adults
Oral Prep
- Take to pt but not if they cant allow etc

- do it well and pt sould not chew med.
Rectal
- Pt privacy prior and keep in fridge first
Transdermal
apppy patch
Injection IM
Can go IM: Gluteus Ventrogluteal Vastus Iateralis Rectus femoris Deltoid.
Always aspirate.
Injection IV
- Use vein and alsways follow right steps.
- Alwats give bolus first and no med in infusion.
- When done, dont let pt bend and wash hands after.
Problems and IV
- Infilartion, change it and raise
- Venouu issues, warm compress.
- Anaphylaxis, stop and get help.
- Circu overload, give med, and have pt breath good.
Blood
- Get type matches and all rules must follow or death can occur.
Calculations
- cc = ml
- 1ml equals 10 dixy units and can do conversions to figure out dosage for pt.
Remember 500 mg to get tablets. And volume conversions where x equals amount needed.
