In this episode, we delve into the crucial role of the nursing process in patient-centered care, focusing specifically on how it relates to drug administration and medication safety. We outline the steps of the nursing process, including assessment, patient problem identification, planning, implementation, and evaluation, with a detailed discussion on their application to pharmacology. Learn how to set patient-centered goals, develop effective health teaching strategies, and understand the nurse’s role in medication management. Join us as we explore these core principles and how they guide nursing practice in delivering safe, quality care.
