Part 4: Practical aspects of drug administration: general considerations
Abstract
In this, the fourth in a series of articles on practice-related aspects of pharmacology, drug therapy and applied nursing pharmacology, we will continue to focus on the role of the nursing practitioner in administering prescribed medication to patients in their care. Consideration will be given to some of the practical aspects pertaining to drug administration in the ward or healthcare unit, including drug interactions and adverse drug reactions. This series uses excerpts and diagrams with permission from the 2nd edition of Pharmacology in Clinical Practice: Application Made Easy for Nurses and Allied Health Professionals, and is compiled and expanded upon by the author.
