Literally.
We might have discussed this topic for one week, but honestly I have learned enough. Whenever I see medicines, I think of them as mere factors of recovery. That's it. Drink and you'll get better. then, this thing in our TLE subject came. Those tons of things to consider, like the doctor's prescription and dose of intake, made me realize that administering medicine to a patient is pretty serious.
When I was younger, I thought we can just drink any medicine that we can buy from the pharmacy. I mean they were made available, so they better be good and all that. Sad thing? Because of the variety of medicines to choose from, we should really pick the right medicine. Consider the price, its effects and its intensity to th patient's system. There are different ways to administer medicine. It actually depends on which body part is concerned. After learning the different ways, we also get to understand the importance of new medicine. What do I mean to say by this? It's actually a reflex for all of us to dismantle all the expired medicines. But, wait. There are still correct ways. You think you can just toss it off to the trash can and you're done? I don't think so.
Your patient's health is the first thing to consider as a home nurse. As what we are all aware of, the right medicine will always cure the patient. But the proper way of administering lies in our hands.
