3 Checks of Drug Administration:l Check the drug with the MAR or the
medication information system when removing the mediation from the container.
l Check the drug when preparing it; pouring it, taking it out of the container, or connecting the IV tubing to the bag.
l Checking the drug before administrating it to the client and comparing the MAR with the client ID Band.
11
Drug Administration Abbreviations:l Only us the abbreviations deemed
appropriate by the Institute for Safe Medication Practice or health care facility.
l Avoid medication errors:-qd = daily or every day-qhs = nightly-qod = every other day
12
Pharmocokinetics:l Review each drug for:
1. Ability of drug to cross plasma membranes.2. Absorption of drug3. Distribution of drug4. Metabolism of drug5. Excretion of drug6. Drug plasma concentration and Therapeutic
response
7. Plasma ½ life and drug duration8. Loading dose and Maintenance dose
13
Drug Receptor Interactions:l Agonist – drug that produces the same type of
response as the bodies internal responsel Partial Agonist – a drug that produces a
weaker or less effective response than the internal agonist response
l Antagonist – drug that occupies a receptor site and prevents the internal response from occurring
*Sometimes drugs compete for the receptor binding site and some inhibit the effects of the agonist.*
14
Topical Drug Administration:
l Dermatological preparations-creams, lotions, gels, powder, spray
l Instillations & Irrigations-eye, ear, nose, urinary bladder, rectum, vagina
l Inhalations-inhaler, nebulizers, positive pressure equipment
15
Other Routes of Administration:l Sublinguall Buccall GI Tube (NGT, gastric)l Transdermall Nasall Intravenous (IV)l Subcutaneous (SQ) (needle 45-90 degrees)l Intramuscular (IM) (needle 90 degrees)l Intradermal (ID) (needle 10-15 degrees)
16
Do Not Crush Drugs:
l Capsulesl Enteric Coatedl Sustained-Release (SR)l Extended-Release (XL)l Long Acting (LA)*Always review the medication in an
updated Drug Book.
