5:4 Implications

This provides a brief summary of the study, relate the findings of research, and suggest possible directions for future studies. Administration of medication is an inevitable part of nurses' role in the care of critically ill patients. Students who are in final year Basic B.Sc. Nursing program will soon find themselves giving comprehensive nursing care in the clinical settings.

5:5 Implications for Nursing Practice

The findings from this study will allow the nursing students to have knowledge and skills about emergency drugs and drug calculations which help them to be ready working in the healthcare setting. Furthermore, it will develop the knowledge, skills and critical thinking of the nursing students which help them to develop their practical side.

The Nursing students are expected to acquire a minimum knowledge of 75% in Emergency Drugs and the Calculation of Drug Doses. This will enable them to perform their job better in the clinical settings. As it is found that the Nursing students possess inadequate knowledge on Emergency Drugs and the Calculation of Drug Doses, an information booklet is prepared as the outcome of the study.

5:6 Implications for Nursing Education

Today, all nursing students must have knowledge and skills on emergency drugs and the calculation of drug doses before graduating. The findings from this study will allow the nursing education department in the hospital to include emergency drugs and drug calculation in orientation program and also in continuous education.

The study findings support the fact that nursing students have inadequate reference material on Emergency Drugs and the Drug Calculation. Hence the information booklet which is prepared as an outcome of this study can be of tremendous help for the teachers as well as students for acquiring adequate knowledge on Emergency Drugs and Calculation.

5:7 Implications for Nursing Research

Every graduate nurse should be proficient and confident in the administration of emergency drugs and calculation of drug doses. The deficiency in the knowledge among nurses can result in medication errors. Adverse drug events and even death in people.

The findings of the present study can form the basis for future research. The implications which have been made in this study are of prime concern for nursing practice , nursing education , nursing administration , nursing research .

5:8 Implications for Nursing Administration

The findings of this study will help the nursing administration to be involved in developing educational programs for nursing students to develop their knowledge and skills about emergency drugs and calculations. Nurse administers struggle in creating a positive practice environment for nursing students that contribute to be competent in emergency drugs administrations and drug calculation.

The findings of this study will give adequate information to the nursing student provide care. The information booklet can be made available in the settings so that the nursing student can refer as and when required. This will reduce the clinical instructor's time in clarifying the doubts of the nurses in the unit and decrease the enormous time spent on supervision of nurses administering the medication in the care . The booklet can also enhance the nurses' knowledge and reduce the incidence of medication errors. This ultimately conserves the time of nursing administrators spent on incidental reports and the subsequent discussions which usually follow every medication error.

5:9 Limitations

The limitations of the study were as follows:

1. The study was conducted among the participants from Al-Riyda College for Health Sciences, Jeddah. So generalization must be done with caution.

2. The study was done on a small sample size of 20. Hence generalization is possible only for the selected participants.

3. This study carried out for Final Year Nursing students, and could be done for other students also.

5:10 Recommendations

On the basis of the findings of the present study and keeping in mind the limitation of the study, the following recommendations were proposed .After examining the result of the questionnaire it became clear that the students do not have adequate knowledge on the emergency medication and they need to take more educational courses on it due to its importance.

Pharmacology is a course that entails a great deal of subject matter and will require a nursing student to acquire much information. Therefore we recommend the following:

a) The study could be conducted with larger samples thereby the findings could be generalized better.

b) A comparative study could be conducted between the students at different college or university level.

c) A study can also be done to assess the skills of nursing students in administration of emergency drugs and the calculation of drug doses.

d) The curriculum committee should review the pharmacology course syllabus.

e) Review policy of minimum requirement of attendance and minimum pass mark in the pharmacology course.

f) Provide more opportunity for students to attend medication and calculation courses in hospital to motivate them.
