NR 293 Medication Teaching Plan_Zavegepant

Medication Teaching Plan: Zavegepant The intended use of this brochure is to summarize the effects and applications of Zavegepant, in the form of ZAVZPRET, as a single-use nasal spray (Pfizer Labs, n.d.). This brochure incorporates several key factors associated with medication use and administration into two pages. On the first page, nurses understand the action mechanism, dosage, administration, and drug classification. Within this page, nurses can quickly learn how the medication works and plan for the ideal administration to achieve the desired outcomes. The first image serves as a visual of the medication's chemical structure for reference, if needed. The second image provides a visual depiction of the medication’s packaging to help visualize it for future use. On the second page, the brochures emphasize things the nurse must look out for while administering the medication, including drug interactions, patient-specific factors, contraindications, adverse or side effects, and lab values to monitor. These details quickly allow the nurse to identify red flags for holding medications and prioritize desired health outcomes. The two pictures utilize red colors and symbolism to bring the nurse’s action to their respective areas quickly. If this information was intended for an audience with low health literacy, I would change the first image of page one to administration instructions for the nasal spray, as this would better encompass their educational needs. I would also change the wording of certain phrases throughout the brochure, such as “concomitant”, “hypersensitivity,” “dysgeusia and ageusia,” to words that are better understood by public and focus information relevant to their personal needs, rather than details aimed towards nursing education.
