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.
