|
It is your responsibility as the health care professional to know the uses, actions, common adverse reactions, and any precautions of the drugs you are administering. Due to new medication being developed it is also your responsibility to educate yourself of any drugs that you're unfamiliar with. Some sources that you can exhaust range from any of these dependable sources; Pharmacist, Drug inserts, and manufactures' websites. In addition to knowing the drugs you are prescribing it is also your responsibility to inform the patient of the name, side effects and why they are taking these drugs.
