Study Notes
Practitioners play a crucial role in prescribing medications to patients, and their responsibilities in this process are extensive. The subtopics of patient assessment, medication selection, patient education, and follow-up monitoring are essential in the prescribing process.
- Patient assessment: Practitioners must first assess the patient's health status, medication history, and current medications to develop an appropriate treatment plan. This includes:
- Identifying any medication-related problems or discrepancies.
- Assessing the patient's ability to administer medications correctly and their adherence to the prescribing regimen.
- In some healthcare providers, such as nurse practitioners and physician assistants, prescriptive authority is increasing, which requires them to have a valid Drug Enforcement Administration (Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants in the United States).
-
Medication selection: The selection of the most appropriate medication and dosage regimen is a complex task that requires formulation of an appropriate treatment regimen, taking into account the infinite variation in patients. Familiarity with medications and their effects is crucial, and continuing professional development is required to prevent adverse outcomes.
-
Patient education: Practitioners must educating patients on the use of medications, including how to administer them correctly and manage any adverse effects. Nurses, for example, play a crucial role in patient education regarding medication management and symptom monitoring after discharge.
-
Follow-up monitoring: Monitoring the patient's response to the prescribing regimen and assessing medication adherence is essential. This includes:
- Identifying difficulties and barriers related to adherence and adopting suitable techniques to overcome them.
- Measur medication adherence by various methods, such as patient diaries, assessment of clinical response, or counting the number of pills.
- Addressing any problems related to adherence and educating patients on how these problems have been addressed.
Patient involvement in decision-m making is essential in improving medication adherence, and healthcare professionals such as physicians, pharmacists, and nurses have a significant role in daily practice to improve patient medication adherence. In the era of physician shortages, advanced practice providers, such as nurse practitioners and physician assistants, are taking on more responsibilities in prescribing and medication management.
Practitioners must be fully competent in pharmaceutical care to fulfil their roles, including patient assessment, medication selection, patient education, and follow-up monitoring. This competence is essential for optimising pharmaceutical care through interprofessional collaboration and improving patient care and outcomes. In the UK National Health Service (NHS) concept of medicines optimisation, the resolution identifies opportunities to optimise pharmaceutical care through interprofessional collaboration and some challenges. Acknowledging nurses' roles is not only important to research and policy making, but also essential to nurse education.
Practitioners must be familiar with the principles of rational prescribing, which includes making a diagnosis, estimating prognosis, and selecting the most appropriate treatment and monitoring the effects of that treatment. Patients should be involved in several of these stages, and their beliefs, expectations, and attitudes to risk will contribute to rational prescribing decisions. Pharmacogenetics will help to individualise prescribing choices but will not replace the need for a rational approach to prescribing.
