How Should Nurses Manage Medication Administration?
Medication administration is another critical area where adherence to current guidelines is essential. Nurses should apply the five rights of medication administration: the right patient, the right drug, the right dose, the right route, and the right time. Additionally, the use of electronic health records (EHR) and barcoding systems can significantly reduce medication errors. It’s also crucial to monitor for and report any adverse drug reactions promptly.
