Study Notes

Medication Administration and Documentation

The seven rights of medication administration include patient identification, drug, dose, route, time, allergies, and documentation.
Medication errors can occur if any of the seven rights are violated and can result in termination.
Medication administration routes include oral, Gtube, transdermal, inhalation, nasal, eye, ear, rectal, and various injection routes.
Enteral administration refers to administering medications directly into the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, commonly through a tube inserted through the mouth, nose, or abdominal wall.
Intravenous (IV) administration delivers medications or fluids directly into a vein, either by gravity or with the help of an infusion pump.
Infiltration is the accidental leakage of non-vesicant solutions out of the vein into surrounding tissue, which can cause swelling and infection.
Measuring devices such as cups, droppers, oral syringes, and dosing spoons are used to administer medications in precise amounts.
Solid drug forms can be scored or broken in half, while capsule medications cannot be broken. Some medications must be absorbed outside the stomach.
Liquid drug forms include suspensions, emulsions, elixirs, extracts, spirits (tinctures), and syrups, which are often used to make medications more palatable.
Prescriber's orders include the patient's name, drug name, route, dose, frequency, special circumstances, and the prescriber's signature.
Types of prescriber's orders include routine, standing, single, stat, and PRN (as needed). Automatic stop orders and self-limiting orders are also used.
Drug dispensing systems can include computerized systems, unit dose systems, blister packs, floor stock, and individual prescriptions. Each has its advantages and disadvantages.
