Summary
A new learning object for intramuscular medication administration was developed and assessed. The educational technology was found to be highly effective, with 97% positive feedback from nursing students and professionals.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Medical Training Technologies
Background:
- Effective training is crucial for safe medication administration.
- Nursing education requires innovative digital tools.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate a digital learning object for intramuscular medication administration.
- To assess its suitability for nursing undergraduates and practicing nurses.
Main Methods:
- A sample of nurses and nursing students assessed the learning object.
- Assessment focused on educational aspects, interface, and didactic resources.
Main Results:
- 128 responses were collected, with 97% positive feedback (excellent/satisfactory).
- The object was deemed flexible, dynamic, objective, and appropriate for nursing learning.
Conclusions:
- The educational technology uses clear language and can be adapted for other nursing topics.
- It supports autonomous learning and aligns with modern professional education standards.

1.0K
The one-compartment model is a pharmacokinetic tool that models the body as a single, uniform compartment, facilitating the understanding of drug distribution and elimination. This model is particularly beneficial for intravenous (IV) bolus administration, where the drug rapidly circulates throughout the body.
The drug's presence in the body is defined by an equation representing the difference between the rates of drug entry and exit. Key parameters—elimination rate constant,...

179
Parenteral drug delivery systems play a crucial role in modern therapeutics by enabling the direct administration of drugs into the systemic circulation, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract. These systems are particularly valuable for poorly absorbed oral medications that are unstable in the digestive environment or require rapid onset or sustained therapeutic levels. Delivery is achieved through intravenous, intramuscular, or subcutaneous routes, each selected based on the drug's properties...

Drugs, the chemical agents used in diagnosing, treating, or preventing diseases, undergo a four-phase process of development: pharmaceutic, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and therapeutic.
The pharmaceutical phase focuses on leveraging the physicochemical properties of the drug to design and manufacture an effective product. Variants include orally administered tablets or capsules, topical creams or ointments, and parenteral-delivery solutions or emulsions.

1.4K
The two-compartment model for intravenous (IV) bolus administration illustrates drug distribution in the body, subdividing it into central and peripheral compartments. This model operates on the concept of two-compartment kinetics. The drug's plasma concentration shows a bi-exponential decline following IV bolus administration, signaling the presence of two disposition processes: distribution and elimination.

01:25Routes of Drug Administration: Parenteral
3.9K
The administration of drugs via parenteral routes allows for direct drug introduction into the systemic circulation, resulting in high bioavailability because the medication bypasses the harsh conditions of the gastrointestinal tract and hepatic metabolism.
The intravenous route (IV) of drug administration can be further categorized into two types. The bolus injection administers the entire dose rapidly, while an intravenous infusion slowly delivers smaller doses steadily.
The IV route is often...

01:15Drug Dosage Regimen: Overview
4.7K
A drug dosage regimen describes the specific instructions and schedule for administering a drug to a patient. It considers factors such as drug dosage, frequency, route of administration, and duration of treatment. Designing an appropriate dosage regimen for a patient aims to achieve a target drug concentration at the site of action.
