What are client indications and considerations?

Quick question... I am writing a pathophysiology paper. On the template I was given, it asks us to list the medications given, the class, action, dose/route/time... and then indications and considerations? Are indications "signs/symptoms" of why the pt needed the medication administered? Considerations such as possible allergic reactions or adverse effects? If so, what if there aren't any?

Please no rude comments, I just need some clarification.

    The indications are what the medications are used to treat. An example of the indications would be Celexa: Depression, anxiety, blah, blah, blah. The considerations are things to be considered when a patient is on the medications, like teach patient that no alcohol is allowed with vanc, monitor for suicidal ideation with antidepressants. The drug book I have has a section for each medication that says uses and that is what the instructors have us put for indications. The book also has a scetion for each medication that says nursing considerations/patient teachings and that is where we get the information for considerations. Possible allergic reactions and adverse effects can be included in considerations.
