Look-alike/sound-alike medication names can result in medication errors.

Assessment: patient factors, baseline data
-used to determine therapeutic and adverse effects, identifies high-risk
patients, includes capacity for self-care and adherence
Diagnosis: analyze assessment, identify potential health problems that the
drug might cause and potential side effects
-patient deficits, anticipated side effects
Planning:
-maximize therapeutic effects, minimize adverse effects, include the
patient/family in the planning, is it appropriate? (purpose, timing, dose, etc.)
, Interventions:
-5 Rights & 3 Checks, Making PRN (whenever necessary) decisions, Patient
education, Non-pharmacologic measures, early recognition and
anticipation
Evaluation: labs, physical assessment, patient reports
-Know what you are looking for, is drug producing desired effect? are the
adverse effects acceptable? Is the patient taking the drug as prescribed?
