Medications must beintegrated into the nursing interventions to include administration, nursingconsiderations and teaching. A medication sheet is required for each medicationadministered to the client. Specific diagnostic test and labs (with results)should be included in assessments and nursing interventions. Nursing diagnosesshould be actual, risk for and potential complications and encompass alldimensions of the client. See grading criteria rubric.
