Here’s where the rubber hits the road as far as drug names go. As a nurse, you need to know:
- The generic and common brand names for all medications frequently used in your area of practice
- How to look up any unfamiliar medication prior to administering it
And, as a patient advocate, you must teach those under your care:
- To learn the generic and brand (if taking a name brand drug) names of their medications or at least keep a current list of medications handy
- To fill prescriptions at just one pharmacy to decrease the risk of duplication or interactions

oxygen saturation has increased from 90% to 98%, no longer have cough, which was productive. I smoked for 35 years. E cigarettes have literally been a lifesaver for me.
