#DoesPharmaCareIntervénesWithNursingCare?
1. No, PharmaCare is the professional responsibility of PharmDs and does not intervene into NursingCare, it complements it.
2. PharmaCare involves medication reconciliation, therapeutic review, dose optimization, interaction assessment, discharge medication planning, and patient counseling.
3. These functions require specialized pharmacotherapy knowledge and are the core clinical responsibilities of PharmDs.
4. This role ensures that every patient receives the most appropriate, safe, and effective medication therapy.
5. NursingCare, on the other hand, focuses on medication administration, bedside monitoring, and observing patient response.
6. Nurses ensure that medications prescribed and reviewed under PharmaCare are correctly administered and that any clinical changes are promptly reported.
7. Thus, PharmaCare is the clinical domain of PharmDs, and NursingCare is the clinical domain of nurses. Both function collaboratively, not competitively.
8. PharmaCare ensures medication correctness, and NursingCare ensures medication delivery and monitoring—together ensuring safe, accountable, and high-quality patient care.
9. This beings out comete triangular Collaborative support service with the patient in focus.
