symptoms, review of medical records, drug history, and vital signs are needed before drugs are
given. Deciding on special equipment that will be needed to give the patient’s drug is part of the
planning phase of the nursing process. Monitoring the patient for his response to given drug is
part of the evaluation stage of the nursing process. Reviewing the nursing care plan to verify that
it is being followed accurately is part of the implementation stage of the nursing process.
