Intravenous (IV) medication administration is a critical component of patient care in healthcare settings, requiring precision, collaboration, and adherence to protocols. Both nurses and pharmacists play vital roles in ensuring the safe and effective delivery of IV medications. Nurses are primarily responsible for the administration, monitoring, and immediate management of patient responses, while pharmacists are tasked with preparing, verifying, and providing guidance on the proper use of IV medications. Collaborative efforts between these two professions are essential to minimize medication errors, enhance patient safety, and optimize therapeutic outcomes. This review explores the expectations and responsibilities of nurses and pharmacists regarding IV medication administration, emphasizing communication, adherence to standards, and interdisciplinary coordination.
