How Do Nurses Use the Therapeutic Index in Clinical Practice?
Nurses use the therapeutic index to:
Calculate Dosages: Nurses need to administer medications within the therapeutic range to achieve the desired effects without causing harm. Monitor Patients: By understanding the TI, nurses can identify early signs of toxicity and take appropriate actions. Educate Patients: Nurses help patients understand the importance of adhering to prescribed doses to avoid underdosing or overdosing.
