    Sheryl Ann Barit Pedines
    Ketorolac (Toradol) is an injectable nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug given intravenously every 8 hours for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Nurses must carefully check the doctor's order, observe the rights of medication administration, and monitor the patient's fluid intake and output due to the risk of kidney failure. Special precautions are needed in patients with a history of peptic ulcers, GI bleeding, or perforation to prevent further GI complications. Patients should eat small, frequent meals and nurses must have measures in place to treat potential allergic reactions when administering the first dose.
