ATI: Polypharmacy

Response: Older adults can avoid polypharmacy by seeking consultation from their nurse. To prevent it, they could go over the possible harmful effects of administering multiple drugs, avoiding unnecessary medications, getting rid of duplicates of the same medication, and being aware of inappropriate prescriptions. The role of the nurse is crucial in preventing polypharmacy. They are the ones who need to counsel and advise the patient and their family about the potentially harmful effects of polypharmacy, maintain good communication with the primary care provider about any unwanted drugs, and closely monitor the drug administration of patients.

Reflection: I reflected well on polypharmacy when pertaining to how adults can prevent it and what the nurse's role is. In order to prevent polypharmacy for any individual, it is crucial to maintain good communication between the patient and the nurse. The nurse is the most important role in preventing polypharmacy.
