Nurse-Led Patient Counselling in IPD: A Key Strategy for Enhancing Drug Safety and ADR Prevention.

Abstract

Aim: In inpatient departments (IPDs), nurse-led patient counselling is a crucial tactic to enhance medication safety and lower the incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). The goal of this strategy is to improve patient comprehension, adherence, and proactive involvement in medication management through thorough patient education provided by nursing personnel. This paper's main goal is to investigate how nurse-led counselling might lower the frequency of ADRs in IPD settings by improving patient participation and education. This paper summarises data showing the effectiveness of nurse led initiatives in enhancing drug safety outcomes, highlighting the relevance of nurses as frontline healthcare professionals.
