Nursing Roles
• Legal and Ethical implications• Know your meds
– Pharmacokinetics:• Because food, other drugs, disease, age affect
absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion
– Actions– Interactions– Routes– Measurement and Calculation, conversions– Documentation
04/18/23 NRS105 2011 34
Responsibilities
• Prescribe – APN
• Correct drug and dose [range]
• Effects and implications
• Why med is ordered for pt
• Monitor effects – intended and other
• Reactions
• Education
Critical Thinking
• Knowledge: understand why you are giving a med; if you don’t know, look it up
• Experience: skills become more refined
• Attitudes: take adequate time to prepare and administer
• Standards: ensure safe practice– 6 Rights
04/18/23 35NRS105 2011
Components of Medication Orders
• Client’s full name• Date and time that the order is written• Medication name• Dose• Route• Time and frequency of administration• PRN orders must have a reason• Signature
04/18/23 36NRS105 2011
Test Your Knowledge
• The nurse is transcribing the physician’s orders for the newly admitted client’s medications. For which of the following orders would the nurse need clarification prior to administering the medication?
A) Digoxin 0.125 mg po daily
B) Lasix 40 mg. po bid
C) Tylenol 650 mg. po PRN
D) Lipitor 20 mg. po at bedtime04/18/23 37NRS105 2011
Types of Medication Action
Therapeutic effect:Therapeutic effect:Expected or predictableExpected or predictable
Side effect:Side effect:Predictable and often Predictable and often unavoidableunavoidable
Adverse effect:Adverse effect:Unintended, undesirable, Unintended, undesirable, and often unpredictable and often unpredictable severe responsesevere response
Toxic effect:Toxic effect:Medication Medication accumulates in the accumulates in the blood streamblood stream
Idiosyncratic reaction:Idiosyncratic reaction:Over- or under-reaction to Over- or under-reaction to a medicationa medication
Allergic reaction:Allergic reaction:Unpredictable response Unpredictable response to a medicationto a medication
04/18/23 38NRS105 2011
Medication Interactions• Occur when one medication modifies the action
of another
• A synergistic effect occurs when the combined effect of two medications is greater than the effect of the medications given separately.– Can be beneficial: Tylenol and Codeine
– ETOH and antihistimines, antidepressants, or narcotics (all CNS depressants)
– HTN may be treated with diuretic and vasodilator

Effects of Nutrition on DrugsGrapefruit Can cause toxicity when taken
with cisapride, carbamazepine, diazepam, verapamil, amiodarone, lovastatin
Vitamin K Decrease effectiveness of warfarin
Tyramine (found in cheese, beer, dried sausage, sauerkraut)
In combination with MAOI meds (Nardil, Parnate, Marplan) creates increase in epinephrine HA, ↑ P, ↑ BP death
Milk Interferes with absorption of tetracycline antibiotics
04/18/23 41NRS105 2011
Systems of Medication Measurement
• Requires the ability to compute medication doses accurately and correctly
• Metric system: organized in units of 10
• Apothecaries: older than metric
• Household system: least accurate
• Solution
04/18/23 42NRS105 2011
Insulin Preparation
• Rapid, short, intermediate, and long acting• Know onset, peak and duration (see page 743)• ONLY regular insulin can be given IV• Sliding scale based on blood glucose • Gently roll cloudy• DO NOT SHAKE• Prepare last and administer first if mixed because
regular can become “contaminated” and action can be affected– CLEAR to CLOUDY

Drug Calculations
Dose Ordered X amount = amount to
dose on hand on hand administer
1. Look at order + available concentration
2. Ballpark estimate
3. Calculate – paper + calculator
4. Check math, compare to estimate
Convert to same units [mcg, mg]
04/18/23 NRS105 2011 46
Examples• Order: Digoxin 12.5mg PO daily• On hand: 25 mg tablets1. Change to same units if needed [mg= mg]2. Put in formula: 12.5 X 1 tab = ?
25 amount to give
3. Estimate: 12.5 is about ½ of 25 4. Solve: ½ X 1 = ½ tab5. Check estimate – ½ = ½
04/18/23 NRS105 2011 47
Wait!
• You’re not done yet:
• Nursing implications for Digoxin:– Assess and record apical HR and B/P– Hold for systolic B/P < 90, HR <60– Know WHY– Know action of Digoxin– Document HR, B/P, dose given or held, time
04/18/23 NRS105 2011 48
Example 2
• Order: APAP gtts 5mg/kg q 4° PO fever/pain
• Available: 80mg/0.8ml [= 100mg/1ml]
• Wt is 3 kg
• 5 mg X 3 kg = 15 mg dose
• Estimate: 100 mg in 1 ml, dose is 15 mg; will be very small dose - < 1 ml
04/18/23 NRS105 2011 49
Solve
15ml [ordered] X 1ml = ? amount
100mg [on hand] to give
15mg/100mg X 1 ml = 0.15ml
Check – close to estimate? [if I mess up my math and get 1.5 ml, estimate will catch me]
Administer and document
04/18/23 NRS105 2011 50
PRACTICE
• You CANNOT Practice medication calculations too much
• KEY skill for success in school & practice
• PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE
• Know conversions, abbreviations
04/18/23 NRS105 2011 51
Abbreviations to Avoid
• Trailing Zero e.g. 1.0ml [read as 10ml]
• Lack of leading zero e.g. .1mg [read as 1mg]
• X3D ?? Three doses or three days?
• Drug abbreviations MgSO4 – [mag sulfate]– Read as Morphine Sulfate [MSO4]
• Similar Drug names – clarify [Norvasc/Norflex, Fosamax/ Flomax]
• Handwritten Orders/ MARS – Always Clarify
04/18/23 NRS105 2011 52
Medication References
• Book form – – In med room, on Pyxis
• Electronic –– Available for PDA, Itouch, Iphone
The Nursing Process and Med Administration
• Assessment– Medical history– Allergies– Medication data– Diet history– Client’s perceptual or coordination problems– Client’s current condition– Client’s attitude about medication use– Client’s knowledge and understanding of medication
therapy– Client’s learning needs
04/18/23 53NRS105 2011
Nursing Diagnoses
• Anxiety• Ineffective health maintenance• Health-seeking behaviors• Deficient knowledge (medications)• Noncompliance (medications)• Disturbed visual sensory perception• Impaired swallowing• Effective therapeutic regimen management• Ineffective therapeutic regimen management
04/18/23 54NRS105 2011
Planning
• Minimize distractions or interruptions when preparing and administering meds
• This will limit errors
• Prioritize care when administering meds
• Collaboration– Prescriber– Pharmacist– Case manager/social worker
04/18/23 55NRS105 2011
Goals• Generally: safe administration, knowledge
• Pt will demonstrate safe and effective technique for preparing sliding scale insulin based on blood sugar within 24 hours
• Pt will correctly demonstrate subcutaneous insulin administration before discharge
• Pt will verbalize understanding of side effects of prescribed medications after this teaching session
04/18/23 NRS105 2011 56
Goals, con’t
• You must monitor a client’s response to meds on an on-going basis– Goal is not evaluated just once in practice– E.g. Pain is 3/10 in 30 minutes – good; keep
checking
• The goals of safe and effective med administration involve the client’s response to therapy and ability to assume responsibility for safe self-care
04/18/23 NRS105 2011 57
Interventions
• Administer medications per orders
• Assess need for PRN meds
• Assess/monitor medication effects [side effects, desired effect, toxic effects]
• Teach/ educate pt/family –– How to measure accurately– Administration [safety]– Side effects, when to call DR
04/18/23 NRS105 2011 58
Evaluation
• Was goal met? Partially met? Not met?
• Pt correctly calculates insulin [sliding scale] based on BG
• Demonstrates safe preparation and administration
• Verbalizes side effects
• Asks for pain medication when pain 3/10
04/18/23 NRS105 2011 59
Revising Plan
• 1. If short term goal was met, reinforce, continue, or reset goal [increase independence, etc]
• 2. if partially met, reinforce teaching, promote safety, assess what is needed
• 3. Goal not met? Assess why not, change method, add [pain med plus ice and rest]
04/18/23 NRS105 2011 60
Special Considerations
• Infants and children– Vary in age, weight, surface area and the ability to absorb,
metabolize, and excrete meds– Lower doses; special calculations– Alternative forms, such as liquids or elixirs Psychological
prep
• Older adults– Simplify– Assess swallowing– Some have greater sensitivity
• Polypharmacy – many drugs = interactions04/18/23 61NRS105 2011
Test Your Knowledge
• The nurse is teaching a client how to prepare 10 units of regular and 5 units of NPH insulin for injection. In what order should the nurse instruct the client to do the following?
A) Inject air into the regular insulin
B) Inject air into the NPH insulin
C) Withdraw the regular insulin
D) Withdraw the NPH insulin
04/18/23 62NRS105 2011
Intravenous Administration
• Nurses administer meds IV in the following ways:– As mixtures within large volumes of IV fluids (Banana bag)
– By injection of a bolus or small volume of med through an existing IV line or intermittent venous access (heparin lock/saline lock/buff cap)
– By “piggyback” infusion of a solution containing the prescribed medication and a small volume of IV fluid through an existing IV line
• You are responsible for reading more about this in your text as there may be questions on the HESI

Central Venous Catheters
04/18/23 67NRS105 2011
Test Your Knowledge
• If a client who is receiving intravenous (IV) fluids develops tenderness, warmth, erythema, and pain at the site, the nurse suspects which of the following?
A) SepsisB) PhlebitisC) InfiltrationD) Fluid overload
04/18/23 68NRS105 2011
IV Care• PICC lines, central lines should be marked –
treated differently
• Disinfect skin [surgically] prior to starting IV; otherwise medical asepsis
• Scrub the hub 15 seconds each time
• PICC – surgical asepsis for dressing changes
• Central lines are conduits [like Foleys] – high infection risk
