intraocular routes of medication administration involue
The purposes and functions of materials and equipment needed for the administration of medication via different routes to allow all patients to receive medications. Some people may be too sick to swallow pills so other routes of administration are necessary.
The administration of medication serves various purposes, including treating illnesses, managing chronic conditions, alleviating symptoms, and preventing diseases. Techniques for medication administration include oral routes (tablets, liquids), parenteral routes (injections), topical applications (creams, patches), and inhalation (nebulizers, inhalers). Each method is chosen based on factors such as the medication's formulation, desired speed of action, patient preference, and specific health needs. Proper techniques ensure effective treatment while minimizing potential side effects and complications.
Parenteral medication administration refers to the administration of medication through routes other than the digestive system, such as intravenously, intramuscularly, or subcutaneously. This method allows for the medication to bypass the gastrointestinal system and be absorbed directly into the blood stream for faster action.
Parenteral refers to any route of administration that bypasses the gastrointestinal tract. These routes can include Intravenous therapy (IV therapy), intramuscular/ subcutaneous/intradermal injection, buccal, sublingual, or rectal administration, or transvaginal administration (as with the vaginal contraceptive or hormone-therapy ring). Medication patches are also parenteral.
