Need to administer haloperidol lactate injection? Ensure you strictly adhere to prescribed dosage and frequency. Always confirm the patient’s identity and review their medical history for contraindications, particularly regarding cardiac conditions or Parkinson’s disease.
Prepare the injection aseptically. Use proper technique to avoid extravasation; intramuscular injection is generally preferred, following established guidelines for injection site selection and depth. Observe the patient for at least 30 minutes post-injection for adverse reactions, including extrapyramidal symptoms like akathisia or dystonia.
Document the administration meticulously, recording the time, dose, route, and any observed reactions. Immediately report any significant adverse events to the prescribing physician. Familiarize yourself with the available resources for managing potential side effects, including anticholinergic medications for extrapyramidal symptoms. Patient education regarding potential side effects and proper medication management is crucial for successful treatment.
Remember to always consult the official prescribing information for the most accurate and up-to-date details. This information provides only general guidance; individual patient needs may vary. Professional consultation is always recommended.
