What is an approved/correct NANDA nursing diagnosis term for "risk for drug interaction". eg. when 2 medications may be harmful when mixed? Thanks!

contraindicated?

Hope I am so very wrong... but I had a thought while reading this OP, that you might be in a test right now?!

[Coriander, BSN, RN]

I hope we're both wrong, 2ndwind.

[Nursing12345]

yes, you're both wrong. It's a care plan homework assignment. You both didn't help at all.

[AngelfireRN, MSN, RN, APRN]

It's not contraindicated, the drug book I use says "Caution with concomittant use".

That help?

[AngelfireRN, MSN, RN, APRN]

Incompatible- as with some solutes and solvents?

Good gravy.

[Coriander, BSN, RN]

Well, I'm glad to hear we're wrong - really glad. Unfortunately, some of the "help me quick!" threads with no background information lead to our responses. I do suggest, though, from the answers given, that perhaps a "I'm doing a care plan and need help" might warrant a better response. :)

depends on what the patient's response would be. a nursing diagnosis is merely a label, a name, placed on a nursing problem, so what you really need to do is determine what the symptoms of the resulting problem are going to be when 2 medications interact, especially if you know the 2 specific drugs in question to more correctly diagnose this. in general, risk for injury would be used.
