critical step before any drugs are given. Information regarding the present illness, any signs
and symptoms, review of medical records, drug history, and vital signs are needed before
drugs are given. Deciding on special equipment that will be needed to give the patient‘s
drug is part of the planning phase of the nursing process. Monitoring the patient for his
response to given drug is part of the evaluation stage of the nursing process. Reviewing the
nursing care plan to verify that it is being followed accurately is part of the implementation
stage of the nursing process.
