I am a first semester nursing student and we start clinical tomorrow. We will be giving meds for the first time and I was wondering what is the best way to learn them? I have 20 meds to learn by 7 am, there action, class, side effects, and nsg implications. I'm freaking out because our instructor will send us home if we mess up the least little bit. UGH! Also, in my patient assignment..my pt's dx is failure to thrive, afib c rvr, and dehydration. Why would he get whiskey in the evening with his meal?
