These must be ascertained accurately by taking a full history from the patient. Any known Allergies must be recorded on the medication chart clearly and they must have allergy bands placed on their wrists for EACH of the potentially allergenic drugs. Drug reactions vary and a mild reaction may not preclude the use of a particular drug if that drug is going to be life saving in other ways. EG someone may always get a headache if they take penicillin. If this is the only reaction then it may be considered safe to give the penicillin because the good effect outweighs the bad. But is someone has had a very bad reaction to something then it is vital that the drug in question is not used at all Mike RGN
