What are the Common Challenges in Pharmacological Nursing?
Some common challenges include:
1. Medication Errors: These can occur due to miscommunication, similar drug names, or incorrect dosages. 2. Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs): Nurses must be vigilant in monitoring for ADRs and be prepared to intervene. 3. Polypharmacy: Managing patients who take multiple medications can be complex, requiring careful coordination and monitoring. 4. Patient Non-compliance: Ensuring that patients adhere to their medication regimens can be difficult, especially in outpatient settings.
