Nurses play a critical role in monitoring for adverse reactions. This involves a combination of assessment, observation, and communication:
Assessment: Conduct thorough initial and ongoing assessments to establish a baseline and detect any changes in the patient's condition. Observation: Continuously observe the patient for any signs and symptoms of adverse reactions, especially after the administration of new medications or treatments. Communication: Maintain open communication with the patient and their family to report any new or unusual symptoms. Collaborate with the healthcare team to ensure timely interventions.
