How do Nurses Contribute to Medication Adjustment?
Nurses are integral to the medication adjustment process. Their responsibilities include:
Monitoring: Keeping track of the patient’s response to the medication, including noting any side effects or adverse reactions. Education: Teaching patients about their medications, including how and when to take them, and what side effects to watch for. Communication: Reporting observations and concerns to physicians and other healthcare providers to facilitate timely adjustments. Documentation: Recording all relevant information accurately in the patient’s medical records.
