Seven potential nursing diagnoses during medication administration could include Risk for Allergy Response, Ineffective Health Maintenance, Noncompliance, Risk for Injury, Deficient Knowledge, Impaired Swallowing, and Risk for Infection.
Seven potential nursing diagnoses that might be used during the administration of medications include:
- Risk for Allergy Response
- Ineffective Health Maintenance
- Noncompliance with Medication Regimen
- Risk for Injury related to side effects or interactions of medication
- Deficient Knowledge regarding drug action or administration
- Impaired Swallowing related to neurological disorders or dysphagia
- Risk for Infection related to immunosuppressive effects of drugs
These diagnoses take into account various factors such as potential side effects of a drug, the significance of dosage and the route of administration, and the potential for positive and negative interactions between drugs. Furthermore, systemic conditions like diabetes, malnutrition, and immunosuppressive treatments can also influence these nursing diagnoses and the outcomes of medication administration. Patients with specific conditions, such as those with ADHD, may be prescribed certain medications—like stimulants—to manage their disorder, thereby altering potential nursing diagnoses.
