What are the nursing responsibilities on giving cephradine?

When administering cephradine, nurses should verify the patient's allergy history, particularly for penicillin or other cephalosporins, to prevent adverse reactions. They must assess the patient's renal function, as dosage adjustments may be necessary for those with impaired kidney function. Monitoring the patient for signs of effectiveness and adverse effects, such as gastrointestinal disturbances or allergic reactions, is also crucial. Additionally, nurses should educate patients about the importance of completing the full course of the antibiotic.
