What Should Nurses Do When They Identify an Adverse Reaction?
Upon identifying an adverse reaction, nurses should:
1. Stop the Medication: Immediately discontinue the offending drug. 2. Notify the Physician: Inform the healthcare provider about the reaction. 3. Document the Reaction: Record the details of the reaction in the patient's medical chart. 4. Administer Treatment: Provide necessary interventions to manage the symptoms, such as administering antihistamines for allergic reactions.
