D-Mac2011 1 Post Has 1 years experience. Dec 17, 2010 I am a nursing student also. At my school, we use DR. C. CANTS. It stands for D-dose, R-route, C-lassification, C-contraindications, A-adverse effects, N-nursing considerations, T-time and S-side effects. It is a lot of info, but it does cover everything!
