Principles of Infant and Toddler Medication AdministrationIn accordance with authority and standards

Abstract

Abstract

The principles of drug administration in infants and young children are an important aspect of pediatric clinical practice. Drug administration in this population requires a different approach than in adults, due to differences in pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and drug tolerance. Clear authority and standards in drug administration in infants and young children are essential to ensure safety and effectiveness of treatment. Quality, evidence-based guidelines are needed to assist health practitioners in choosing the right dose, safe mode of administration, and required monitoring. In this abstract, the importance of understanding the basic principles in administering drugs to infants and young children in accordance with established authorities and standards will be discussed. By paying attention to these factors, it is hoped that treatment in infants and young children can be carried out more effectively and safely, and provide the best health outcomes.
