ABSTRACT

The objective of the essay is to explore the influencing factors and nursing measures of clinical drug safety in elderly patients. Methods Selected 100 elderly patients treated in our hospital during 2019.1-2020.1, analyzed the factors affecting the medication safety of elderly patients, and proposed scientific nursing measures for medication. Results There are many factors affecting drug safety, including drug absorption, drug metabolism, drug distribution, psychological dependence and cognitive impairment, comparing the proportion of 100 elderly patients. Conclusion The drug safety of elderly patients is affected by different factors. Scientific nursing measures can help elderly patients to correct and standardize drug use, which has clinical promotion value. With the continuous growth of age, the body function of the elderly patients gradually decline, the organ function is easy to be infected with various diseases, and clinical drug treatment is the primary means to delay the disease. Due to the many types of diseases in elderly patients, the medication situation is also more complicated, often causing medication safety problems due to drug reasons and personal reasons. Therefore, actively carry out scientific nursing measures, to help to guide the elderly patients to use drugs scientifically, play the role of drugs, to avoid the generation of drug safety problems.
