    Unit 4: Medication Administration Fundamental of Nursing Unit 4: Medication Administration: Medication: Is a substance administered for the diagnosis, cure, treatment, relief, or prevention of disease. Six Rights of Medication Administration After paramedics have received the medication or fluid order, they should then administer the drug in question. In performing drug administration, pre-hospital care providers adhere to the six rights of medication administration: 1. Right patient 2. Right medication 3. Right dose 4. Right route 5. Right time 6. Right documentation Basic principle of nurse on drugs administration 1. The nurse must know the drug's prescribed dose, method of administration, actions, expected therapeutic effect, possible interactions with other drugs, and adverse effects. 2. The nurse must know the institution's administration procedures for the client's welfare and the nurse's legal protection. 3. The nurse must Review physician's order for completeness the client's name, date of the order, name of the drug, dose, rout, time of administration, and the physician's signature. 1 Unit 4: Medication Administration Fundamental of Nursing 4. The nurse discusses the medication and its actions with the client; recheck the medication order if the client disagrees with the dose or the physician's order. 5. The nurse must check the physician's order against the client's medication administration record for accuracy. 6. The nurse gives the patient the right to know about the medication he is receiving and the right to refuse it. Routes of Administration A: Enteral Tract Routes The common enteral routes of administration used in general medical practice are as follows: 1.

  • Smallpox Vaccination by Intradermal Jet Injection* 1
    Bull. Org. mond. San)e 1969, 41, 749-760 Bull. Wld Hlth Org. Smallpox Vaccination by Intradermal Jet Injection* 1. Introduction, Background and Results of Pilot Studies J. DONALD MILLAR,1 RONALD R. ROBERTO,2 HERTA WULFF,3 HERBERT A. WENNER4 & D. A. HENDERSON 5 Jet injection has met with great success in the rapid and effective mass administration of several immunizing agents. The recent development of a jet injector nozzle specifically designedfor intradermal inoculation suggested thepossible extension ofjet injector methodo- logy to mass smallpox vaccination. A total of 156 volunteer subjects, 16 unvaccinated and 140 vaccinated more than 5 years previously, received either undiluted smallpox vaccine by the multiple-pressure technique, or 0.1 ml of various dilutions of smallpox vaccine by jet injector using the new nozzle. Cutaneous and serological responses in revaccinees revealed that jet injection of diluted vaccine with a titre of 107 TCID50/ml was as effective as multiple-pressure inoculation of undiluted vaccine. Among the small number ofprimary vaccinees, jet injection ofdiluted vaccine with a titre of 106 TCID5o/ml appearedas effective as multiple-pressure inoculation of undiluted vaccine. No complications of vaccination occurred. The findings confirm the utility of the intradermal nozzle for jet injection of smallpox vaccine. In view of the speed ofadministration and the economy of vaccine, it is suggested that there is a distinct role for jet injection in global smallpox eradication efforts. Further studies on larger numbers of unvaccinated subjects and on persons with significant residual vaccinial immunity are needed to define the optimal concentration of vaccine for mass vaccination by iet injection.

  • Injections in Dogs and Cats
    SOP: Injections in Dogs and Cats These SOPs were developed by the Office of the University Veterinarian and reviewed by Virginia Tech IACUC to provide a reference and guidance to investigators during protocol preparation and IACUC reviewers during protocol review. They can be used as referenced descriptions for procedures on IACUC protocols. However, it is the sole responsibility of the Principal Investigator to ensure that the referenced SOPs adequately cover and accurately represent procedures to be undertaken in any research project. Any modification to procedure as described in the SOP must be outlined in each IACUC protocol application (e.g. if the Principal Investigator plans to use a needle size that is not referenced in the SOP, simply state that alteration in the IACUC protocol itself).

  • Nursing Procedure for Initiating Subcutaneous Fluid Administration with Hylenex Recombinant
    Nursing Procedure for Initiating Subcutaneous Fluid Administration with hylenex recombinant PREP INSERT INFUSE Please see back cover for Indication and Important Safety Information and accompanying full Prescribing Information. These draft policies and procedures have been adapted from the Infusion Nurses Society (INS), the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS), and the hylenex recombinant (hyaluronidase human injection) prescribing information. It is the responsibility of the healthcare organization considering the use of this procedure to conduct an independent review and assessment to determine applicability and appropriateness of this document to their institution and to any particular clinical setting. Infusion therapies present risks; it is the responsibility of the healthcare organization to manage these risks, including the skills and competency validation of personnel. The healthcare organization that uses these guidelines should be aware that an annual review of organizational policies and procedures should continue to occur in accordance and compliance with regulatory and nonregulatory agencies. The Purpose of this Guide To outline nursing responsibilities in providing symptom control and/or fluid and electrolyte replacement by administering fluids subcutaneously. Policy Subcutaneous access is utilized to administer fluids via single injection or continuous infusion into the subcutaneous tissue. The fluid is absorbed through both adipose and connective tissue.1 hylenex recombinant is used for subcutaneous fluid administration, enabling enzymatically augmented subcutaneous infusion. In subcutaneous fluid administration, a catheter is placed in the subcutaneous tissue.1 Skilled and competent nurses knowledgeable in subcutaneous administration and the operation of electronic infusion devices may initiate and manage subcutaneous infusions.1 Some state and facility regulations allow this procedure to be performed by LVNs/LPNs.
