Summary

This is section 1.1 of the Nursing Pharmacology Review Course From Meded101.

Medication management is one of the most powerful ways nurses influence patient outcomes—often in ways that go unseen. From administering medications at the bedside to identifying adverse effects, preventing errors, and advocating for safer therapy, nurses are the final safeguard in the medication-use process. In this episode, we’ll explore the critical role nurses play in medication management, including how clinical judgment, patient education, and interprofessional communication come together to improve safety and effectiveness. Whether you’re a bedside nurse, nurse leader, or student, this conversation highlights why nursing insight is essential to getting medications right.
