Download or read book Drug Administration in Nursing written by Nursing Tutor and published by Gaius Quill Publishing. This book was released on 2024-03-07 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The profession of nursing encompasses many aspects, each of significant importance in delivering high-quality healthcare. Of these, medication administration is a pivotal task, one requiring thorough knowledge and careful application. As the frontline caregivers in various healthcare settings, nurses are in a unique position to ensure safe and effective medication delivery to patients of all ages and health conditions. It is with these realities in mind that I have undertaken the task of writing this book, "Comprehensive Guide to Drug Administration in Nursing." This work seeks to provide a resourceful tool for both aspiring and established nursing professionals to gain a profound understanding of the principles and practices related to drug administration in nursing. The book's structure, beginning with basic pharmacological knowledge and progressively delving into more specialized topics, is designed to facilitate learning at all levels. In the introductory chapter, we lay the foundation with an overview of drug administration in nursing, focusing on the significance and responsibilities associated with accurate medication administration. It sets the stage for subsequent chapters, which dive into the heart of pharmacology, medication orders, and classifications. The concept of "Five Rights" of medication administration forms the cornerstone of this book, providing an essential framework for safe practice. With examples from real-life scenarios, we aim to turn theory into practical, applicable knowledge that nurses can use in their daily routines. As the book advances, we further explore the various routes of medication administration and the complexities associated with each. Understanding the impact of the administration route on a drug's effectiveness is vital, as is the ability to administer drugs through these routes competently and safely. Our journey through the world of medication administration isn't complete without addressing safety procedures and error prevention. Here, we focus on the causes and consequences of medication errors, practical measures to prevent them, and the right approach to handling and reporting errors when they occur. The subsequent chapters tackle specialized fields of drug administration. Intravenous (IV) therapy, pediatric medication administration, geriatric medication administration, and medication administration in specialized settings such as the emergency room, ICU, and psychiatric units are all covered in detail. The book concludes by addressing the often overlooked but critically important roles of patient education and advocacy in nursing. We discuss the importance of patient education, the rights of patients in relation to medication administration, and the critical role that nurses play in advocating for their patients. Finally, we gaze into the future of drug administration in nursing, exploring how technological advances and ongoing research are poised to reshape practices for the better. Each chapter of this book serves as a stepping stone, gradually building the reader's knowledge and understanding of medication administration in nursing. The aim is to provide an all-encompassing view of the subject that not only informs but also promotes critical thinking, attention to detail, and patient-centered care, attributes that lie at the heart of nursing. Whether you are a nursing student grappling with the principles of pharmacology, a newly qualified nurse looking to reinforce and expand your knowledge, or an experienced nurse seeking to keep pace with the latest developments in the field, this book is designed with you in mind. Thank you for embarking on this journey with us. It is our sincere hope that "Comprehensive Guide to Drug Administration in Nursing" will serve as a valuable resource in your professional journey, contributing positively to the incredibly important work you do each day in providing compassionate, safe, and effective care to your patients.

This book was released on 1995-09-14 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume addresses the interface of two major national problems: the epidemic of HIV-AIDS and the widespread use of illegal injection drugs. Should communities have the option of giving drug users sterile needles or bleach for cleaning needs in order to reduce the spread of HIV? Does needle distribution worsen the drug problem, as opponents of such programs argue? Do they reduce the spread of other serious diseases, such as hepatitis? Do they result in more used needles being carelessly discarded in the community? The panel takes a critical look at the available data on needle exchange and bleach distribution programs, reaches conclusions about their efficacy, and offers concrete recommendations for public policy to reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS. The book includes current knowledge about the epidemiologies of HIV/AIDS and injection drug use; characteristics of needle exchange and bleach distribution programs and views on those programs from diverse community groups; and a discussion of laws designed to control possession of needles, their impact on needle sharing among injection drug users, and their implications for needle exchange programs.
