How Can Patient Involvement Help in Reducing Adverse Reactions?
Patient involvement is a critical factor in reducing adverse reactions. By empowering patients with knowledge and encouraging active participation in their care, nurses can:
Ensure patients are aware of their medications and possible side effects. Encourage patients to maintain and share an up-to-date list of their medications. Promote adherence to prescribed treatments and follow-up appointments. Foster open communication, enabling patients to report any issues promptly.
