Question about medication administration.

Published

Thank you for checking my question.

I have been asked a question from the instructor why the client could be on a medication even though it may be contraindicated. I couldn't say anything because I had no idea.

Could somebody can tell me why? I need to answer the question when the next class begins. Help me please.

Thank you.

Sometimes the benefits out weighs the risks (contraindications)

It is a broad question so kind of hard to answer well
