A thorough assessment involves checking each new medication against the client's full profile, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter agents, and supplements. Use a current, evidence-based drug reference to screen for pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interactions.
Do not confuse a stable, long-term medication list with safety. The risk of an adverse drug event spikes with each newly added agent. Always re-assess the entire regimen, not just the new prescription, for cumulative anticholinergic burden, CNS depression, or nephrotoxic effects.
