    Study Notes

    Parenteral Medication Administration

    • Parenteral medication involves injections to treat or prevent health alterations.
    • Types of injections:
      • Subcutaneous (Subq) at 45 degrees
      • Intramuscular (IM) at 90 degrees
      • Intravenous (IV) at 15-20 degrees
      • Intradermal (ID) at a 15-degree angle (bevel up to form a wheal)
      • Local injections

    Medication Management

    • Collaborative effort by multiple healthcare providers is essential in medication management.
    • Pharmacists are licensed to prepare and dispense medications post-prescription.
    • Nurses administer medications and must aspirate; if blood is returned, discard and prepare a new dose.

    Types of Medication Action

    • Therapeutic Effect: The intended effect of the medication, e.g., pain relief.
    • Side Effects: Unintended effects that need monitoring post-administration.
    • Adverse Effects: Severe, potentially fatal effects of medications.

    Routes of Drug Administration

    • Enteral Routes:
      • Oral
      • Buccal
      • Sublingual
      • Rectal
      • Ocular

    Drug Nomenclature and Classification

    • Drugs can have three different names:
      • Chemical Name: Exact atomic arrangement (e.g., N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acetamide for Paracetamol).
      • Non-proprietary Name: Approved name (e.g., Acetaminophen).
      • Proprietary Name: Brand names used by pharmaceutical firms (e.g., Panadol).

    Drug Classification

    • Based on Chemical Nature:

      • Inorganic Drugs: Metals/salts (e.g., Ferrous and Magnesium Sulfate).
      • Organic Drugs: Alkaloids (e.g., Morphine), Glycosides (e.g., Digitoxin), Proteins (e.g., Insulin).
    • Based on Source:

      • Natural Sources: Derived from plants (e.g., Morphine) and microorganisms (e.g., Penicillin).
      • Synthetic and Bio-synthetic Sources: Created chemically or engineered (e.g., Recombinant human erythropoietin).
    • Based on Target Organ:

      • CNS Acting Drugs: Diazepam, Phenobarbital.
      • Respiratory System: Bromhexine.
      • Cardiovascular System: Digoxin.

    Types of Medication Orders

    • Standing Order: Continuous, standardized prescriptions.
    • STAT Order: Urgent, one-time order (e.g., “Benadryl 50 mg PO stat”).

    Prescription/Doctor's Order

    • Written direction necessary for drug preparation and administration.
    • Must include essential information: patient details, drug name, dosage, frequency, prescriber’s details, and specific instructions.

    Pharmacokinetics

    • Refers to how the body affects a drug; includes four phases:
      • Absorption: Movement from administration site to bloodstream.
      • Distribution: Movement through the bloodstream to cells.
      • Metabolism: Transformation into metabolites.
      • Excretion: Removal of drugs/metabolites from the body.

    Pharmacodynamics

    • Studies the biochemical effects of drugs on the body.
    • Important to know which medications can be crushed prior to administration.
