Ketorolac Drug Study for Nursing Students

This document summarizes a nursing student's drug study of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) ketorolac, under the brand name Toradol. It lists ketorolac's classification, indications for use in short-term management of moderate to severe pain, common side effects including diarrhea and dizziness, and potential adverse effects involving respiratory, gastrointestinal, central nervous, hematologic, dermatologic, and other systems. The summary concludes with the nursing responsibilities in administering ketorolac such as assessing patient history and condition, having emergency equipment available in case of allergic reaction, protecting drug vials from light, maintaining therapeutic serum levels, and monitoring for signs of adverse reactions
