Standard of antiblastic drug administration Anita Zeneli
Theoretical and practical course for oncology nurses at Bugando Medical Centre (Tanzania). This presentation is based on the standard for chemotherapy administration (ONS and ASCO 2011). The course has been tailored to the training needs of the Oncology Ward of Bugando Centre. Two our colleagues Dr Samantha Sarti (Oncologist) and Giulia Severi (Oncology Nurse) both at IRCCS IRST Meldola Italy, went at Bugando Medical Centre and worked as volunteers with Tanzanian nurses for a month. During this period they evaluated nurses training needs and reported us, so we prepared a training course with specific objectives. The difficulty was to convey to them the updated contents for use with the resources they have available.

2. What is “Pharmacology”?
• The branch of veterinary medicine
concerned with the uses, effects, and
administration of drugs.
• The study of drugs.
3. Identifying Medications
To identify medications in the
veterinary clinic you must first identify
the following:
Classification of drug
Form of drug
Route of administration
Method of administration
4. Classifications of Drugs
• What is a drug classification?
–Characterized by a drug’s action(s)
in the body or on target tissues.
5. Classifications of Drugs
Emetics- drugs used to induce vomiting
Antiemetics- drugs that relieve vomiting
Antidiarrheal agents- drugs used to lessen diarrhea
Cathartics- drugs that increase bowel motility or loosen
stools
6. Classifications of Drugs
Antacids- drugs that counteract stomach acid
Diuretics- drugs that increase the production of urine
Antibiotics- drugs that kill/inhibit growth of bacteria
Anti-inflammatories- drugs that reduce inflammation
7. Classifications of Drugs
Analgesics-drugs that relieve pain and raise the pain
threshold
Anesthetics- drugs that decreases feeling sensation; numbing
Anticonvulsants-drugs that inhibit seizures
Stimulants-drugs that excite the functional activity of an organ
Tranquilizers- drugs that sedate/quiet an anxious patient
8. Forms of Drugs
• What is a form?
–Characterized by a drug’s physical
composition or state such as:
–Solid tablet, syrup, lotion, ointment,
injectable, extract, etc…
9. Forms of Drugs
Solid- include tablets, gel capsules & coated tablets
Solution- a drug that is dissolved in a liquid and will
not settle if left sitting; syrups and elixirs
Suspension- a drug that is suspended but not
dissolved in the liquid. The particles will settle and
must be shaken before administered
Extract- agent composed of prepared plant/animal
parts rather than manufactured chemicals
10. Forms of Drugs
Topical- drugs that are liquid at room temperature
and applied to the surface of the skin; include
liniments and lotions
Semisolid- drugs that are semisolid in state at
room temperature and applied to the skin; include
ointments and pastes.
Injectable- drugs that are administered via a
needle and syringe
11. Routes of Drug Administration
What does “route of administration”
mean?
-the pathway a drug enters the body.
– Amount of drug that reaches the target tissue can be
significantly altered if the proper route is not used.
– Each route has its own pattern (speed/degree) of
drug absorption.
12. Routes of Drug Administration
Intravenous- (IV) injection into the vein
Intramuscular- (IM) injection into the muscle
Subcutaneous- (Sub-Q, SQ, SC) injection below the skin
Intradermal- application through the skin
Oral- given by mouth for digestive absorption
Inhalation- administration of aerosol, mist or gas for
respiratory absorption
13. Methods of Drug Administration
What are methods of administration?
-The techniques used to give the
drug to the patient.
14. 1. Injection administration
(given by a shot)
2. Oral administration
(given by mouth)
3. Topical administration
(applied to surface of skin)
4. Aerosol administration
(mist or gas for respiratory tract)
Methods of Drug Administration
15. It’s the law!
Controlled Substances – a substance that
has the potential for physical addiction,
physiologic addiction and/or abuse.
Controlled Substances Act of 1970 - a
practitioner who has controlled substances
stored in his/her office must keep these
drugs in a securely locked, substantially
constructed cabinet or safe.
16. Schedules of Controlled
Substances
C-I—No medical value, greatest restrictions; e.g., LSD, heroin
C-II—highly addictive; e.g., opium, morphine
C-III— some potential for abuse, less than C-II; e.g., ketamine
C-IV— low potential for abuse, may lead to limited
dependence; includes valium
C-V— subject to state/local regulation, low abuse potential;
least restrictions
17. Controlled Substances
Kept in a locked, sturdy storage cabinet.
Log must be kept of any controlled drug
that was used.
Records must state: date, purpose and
amount.
Records must include receipts of purchase
and sale of drugs.
Log must be kept for at least 2 years.
21. Equipment used to
Administer Medications
Syringes
Used to administer liquids
to a patient
–Disposable: to be
disposed of after one use
–Automatic/ Re-usable:
to be used many times
23. Equipment used to
Administer Medications
Needle Sizes come in various lengths.
– Sizes come in gauges 4-30.
– The larger the gauge #, the smaller the needle.

C. calculate dosage using factors such as concentration of drug, weight of animal,
and required dosage;
D. complete a prescription label with identifiers that are required by the United
States Food and Drug Administration; and
E. select equipment and instruments used to give medications.

Editor's Notes
“Many of the narcotics, depressants, and stimulants manufactured for legitimate medical uses are subject to abuse, and have therefore been brought under legal control. The goal of controls is to ensure that these "controlled substances" are readily available for medical use, while preventing their distribution for illicit sale and abuse.” -FDA

*a pill counter is used to count the number of pills to be given to the patient. This trey separates out the counted pills with out requiring the veterinary assistant to physically touch the medications.
*a pill cutter splits a pill in half with the use of a sharp blade built into the tool.
