Why is Understanding Mechanism of Action Important in Nursing?
Nurses need to understand the mechanism of action for several reasons: - Drug Administration: Knowing how a drug works helps in administering it correctly. - Patient Education: Nurses can better educate patients about how their medications work and what to expect. - Managing Side Effects: Understanding potential side effects allows nurses to monitor and manage them effectively. - Drug Interactions: Awareness of how drugs interact with each other can prevent harmful interactions.
