How Do Nurses Administer Pharmacological Adjuvants?
The administration of pharmacological adjuvants involves several steps to ensure patient safety and effectiveness:
1. Assessment: Nurses must conduct a thorough assessment to understand the patient's medical history, current medications, and specific needs. 2. Dosage Calculation: Correct dosage must be calculated based on factors such as age, weight, and renal function. 3. Monitoring: Continuous monitoring for adverse effects and effectiveness is essential. 4. Patient Education: Nurses must educate patients on the purpose of the adjuvant, how to take it, and what side effects to watch for.
