What Strategies Can Nurses Use to Prevent Medication Interactions?
To prevent medication interactions, nurses can:
Verify each medication order for potential interactions before administration. Educate patients on the importance of informing healthcare providers about all medications they are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. Encourage adherence to medication schedules and advise on proper administration techniques. Collaborate with pharmacists and other healthcare providers to adjust medication regimens when necessary.
