Medication Administration
- Patients should be in a comfortable position, with their head elevated (high Fowler's position), for oral medication administration.
- Needles should be disposed of in a puncture-proof container after use.
- If a patient refuses to take their medication, the nurse should try to understand their concerns and involve the physician if necessary.
Injections
- Intramuscular (IM) injections have the longest absorption time.
- Subcutaneous (SC) injections are used for insulin and heparin administration.
- Intravenous (IV) injections have the fastest rate of absorption due to larger and more blood vessels.
Pharmacokinetics
- Factors that affect drug distribution within the body include age, body composition, and liver and kidney function.
- Methods of drug administration with a local effect include topical, ophthalmic, and otic routes.
Considerations for Older Adults
- Older adults may have difficulty swallowing medications, and alternative forms (e.g., liquids) may be necessary.
Adverse Reactions
- Anaphylactic reactions to a drug can include symptoms such as hives, itching, and difficulty breathing.
- Factors that can affect drug action include age, body composition, and liver and kidney function.
