- Commitment involves dedication to providing optimal patient care.
- Communication is vital for the nursing process, especially in carrying out pharmacological doctor's orders.
- These values are crucial for effective client interaction and treatment.
Technological Advancements in the Philippines
- Pros: Improved accuracy, enhanced efficiency, enhanced patient safety, real-time monitoring, and advanced drug delivery systems.
- Cons: Initial cost, maintenance and support, technology dependency, and training needs.
- Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE), electronic bar codes, automated dispensing, and smart infusion pumps are among the tools used by healthcare professionals in the Philippines.
- High-risk medications need careful handling to avoid harm.
Current Trends and Clinical Alerts in Nursing Pharmacology
- Technological advancements aim to prevent medication errors.
- High-risk medications include antimicrobials, electrolytes (potassium), and insulins.
Safe Handling of Cytotoxic Drugs
- Act: Review plans, address mistakes, and continuously improve.
- Plan: Identify risks, create safety plans, and involve workers.
- Check: Monitor conditions, get worker feedback, and report incidents.
- Do: Implement controls, prioritize safety measures, and use PPE as a last resort.
- Nurses and healthcare staff need to consider the excretion time of chemotherapy drugs.
- Protective gear (PPE) is crucial to minimize exposure risk, especially for up to 48 hours after IV chemotherapy and seven days post oral chemotherapy.
Interprofessional Practice in Pharmacology
- Interprofessional practice involves a collaborative approach by healthcare professionals from different backgrounds aimed at improving patient care through teamwork.
- Key stakeholders include physicians, pharmacists, nurses, pharmacy technicians, and nurse practitioners.
