Reflective Clinical Assignment #2: Concept of clinical decision making:

As a nurse, often clinical decisions need to be made in regards to medication administration.  A common example would be a patient who has pain with the following medications ordered:

 

Vicodin 1-2 tablets ordered every 6 hours prn pain

Percocet 1-2 tablets every 6 hours prn pain

Morphine 2-8 mg IV every 2 hours prn pain

Demerol 50-100 mg IM every 4-6 hours prn pain

 

Describe what assessments you would make, and how your findings would influence your decision of which medication to administer under different circumstances.
