What are Common Signs that Medication Adjustment is Needed?
Nurses should be vigilant for signs indicating the need for medication adjustment, such as:
Therapeutic failure: When the medication is not producing the expected outcomes. Side effects: New or worsening side effects that impact the patient’s quality of life. Changes in health status: New diagnoses or changes in existing conditions. Laboratory results: Abnormal lab values that suggest drug toxicity or inefficacy.
