Adjust automatic marking as read setting Topic of Interest Ability to readily obtain information regarding medications and their compatibility or interactions with other medications is a topic of interest to me, given that this has become a frequent and important part of my practice. Doing so is a critical educational component of ensuring patients receive the safest and highest quality of care, and our patients trust that their nurses will administer their medications safely and properly when they are in their most vulnerable states. Within my practice setting, nurses administer a wide variety of per os (PO), intravenous, subcutaneous, and intramuscular medications. Although we become quite familiar with the medications we administer fairly often, occasionally the providers will order a less common medication. It is imperative for nurses to review the desired effects, adverse effects, and mechanism of action for any medication prior to administration. Additionally, my patients often receive multiple continuous intravenous infusions at one time, and limited peripheral or central access may require multiple infusions to be run through one port concurrently. Nurses in my setting are expected and accustomed to frequently checking compatibility of such medications to determine which infusions are safe to run together, and which pose risk of crystallization or other adverse incompatibility reactions. Online Information Literacy This is a multifaceted topic, given that both accessibility to credible resources as well as nurses’ competency in seeking out such information are necessary in order to ensure effective and safe medication administration. With evidence-based practice (EBP) now recommended by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to be used in 90% of clinical decisions, healthcare professionals must be proficient at searching for and analyzing the plethora of online knowledge that is so readily available to us (Farokhzadian et al., 2021). Utilization of EBP is necessary in order to obtain positive patient outcomes and provide high-quality, cost-effective care (Farokhzadian et al., 2021). Literacy with online information is relevant to this topic given that nurses must be educated on how to obtain accurate information from appropriate sources. The availability of information online can be overwhelming and daunting if professionals are not skilled in how to obtain the particular information they are searching for. Nurses must be aware of the available relevant and trusted resources provided within their organizations, or equipped with the tools to assess the credibility and reliability of a source. For example, a source that has not been updated in years may not include a newly-identified reaction between two medications, and a nurse’s failure to source information from the most current and updated source may result in a harmful outcome for a patient. Additionally, nurses must be skilled at using proper search terms in order to elicit the particular information they are seeking. There is an abundance of information available for nurses and other healthcare professionals to ensure delivery of the highest quality patient care, and it is our responsibility to maintain online information literacy in order to best serve our patients. In fact, nurse educators are now required to be information literate according to the National League for Nursing Educator Core Competencies (Matthias et al., 2021). This skill is particularly important amongst nurse educators given that advanced practice nurses must employ EBP strategies when preparing and evaluating educational material, participating in research studies, or facilitating the implementation of clinical practice changes (Matthias et al., 2021). Evaluating Online Resources Online resources providing information on medications and their administration should be evaluated cautiously, given inaccurate information could result in harmful outcomes for patients. It is critical to evaluate who is responsible for controlling the website, and where the information posted on the website is sourced from. It is pertinent to assess if this information is frequently reviewed and updated to ensure it is reflective of the most current literature, considering that medications are always continuously being evaluated for potential adverse reactions, interactions, or long term effects. Given that such information is highly valuable and costly to obtain, it is likely that a high-quality source providing medical information may require some sort of payment or subscription in order to fund its maintenance. Credible Websites MicromedexSolutions is a credible website for obtaining evidence-based clinical resources and pharmaceutical information. This is the primary website utilized in my organization, and during my fellowship training, I was educated regarding how to navigate this website in order to obtain pertinent medication information. UnboundMedicine is another credible website that provides a wide variety of healthcare information. An application within this website, called Nursing Central, provides information regarding medications, disorders and diseases, lab and diagnostic test interpretation, and medical dictionary terms that are frequently encountered in nursing practice settings. During my undergraduate nursing studies, my courses required use of this application. Both of these websites are updated frequently to ensure the information provided is current and dependable.
