Medication Administration Times Administration time impacts:
drug efficacydiagnostic laboratory testingPharmacokinetic studies using administration
time in relation to lab test time to determine drug dose recommendation
Full stomach or empty stomach Standard medication administration times
![Page 14: Medication order entry](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070515/587a28cc1a28abbd388b5acf/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Standard Administration Timesdaily = 0900 (9 a.m.),bid = 0900 and 1700 (5 p.m.)q8h=every 8 hours = 0600 (6 a.m.), 1400 (2
p.m.), and 2200 (10 p.m.)Warfarin – 1700 to allow time to review lab
resultsStandardized schedules of drug
administrationbased on therapeutic issues, nursing, pharmacy

MARMedication administration record Part of patient’s medical recordNurse documents when medication administered Standardized times appear as default entries on
MAR Default times may differ on some specialized units
“daily” may default to 0900physical rehabilitation unit
might require daily administration to occur at 0800

Scheduling ConsiderationsMust be aware of exceptionsPharmacists must consider other medications
ciprofloxacin & calcium carbonate must be spacedday or days of the weekimportant to coordinate with patient’s home
schedule every-other-day orders
avoid advising caregiver to give medication on odd days or even days, because depending on number of days in month, “every other day” will change with respect to odd/even

profile in pharmacy information systemInformation used to generate:
MARsmedication profiles fill lists (for pharmacy use)labels for medications to be issued to patient
care areas MARs may be either paper or electronic
(eMAR)
