Moderation can be applied in various aspects of patient care:
- Medication Administration: Administering the correct dosage is fundamental. Overmedication can lead to side effects, while undermedication may leave the patient in discomfort. - Patient Interaction: Building a rapport with patients is essential, but it should not cross professional boundaries. Emotional involvement must be balanced to maintain objectivity and professional standards. - Therapeutic Interventions: Interventions should be evidence-based and tailored to the patient’s needs, avoiding unnecessary tests or procedures that could lead to patient harm or increased healthcare costs.
