MEDICATION SUPPORT
Noncompliance with medication is a key risk factor for recurrence. Most people must take medications for a variety of health conditions. The healthcare team at Ark Providence Australia assists with medicine administration while assuring safety. Polypharmacy is a major risk factor for side effects and poor medication results.
We assist patients in taking their medication in accordance with the 7 'rights' of medication support, which include recordkeeping and storage. We also look at any main hazards associated with medication management, as well as how to apply choice and control to drug assistance. The Community Nurses of Ark Providence supervise and manage this.
We acknowledge and pay respect to the Ngunnawal people as the original and ongoing owners and custodians of this land. We commit ourselves to actively work alongside indigenous people for reconciliation and justice.
