T HE EFFICIENCY of excited-state interaction between Tb 3+ doped in sol-gel matrix and the industrial product Gatifloxacin (GFX) has been studied in different solvent and pHs. A high luminescence intensity peak at 545 nm of terbium-Gatifloxacin complex at λ ex = 340 nm in acetonitrile was obtained. The photophysical properties of the green emissive Tb 3+ complex doped in sol-gel matrix have been elucidated, the terbium was used as optical sensor for the assessment of Gatifloxacin in the pharmaceutical tablets and serum samples at pH 8.0 and λ ex = 340 nm with a concentration range of 5.0 ×10 −9-1.0 ×10 −6 mol L −1 for Gatifloxacin, correlation coefficient of 0.99 and detection limit of 1.65 ×10 −9 mol L −1 .
Contents: Medication administration is an integral part of delivering quality nursing care. The nurse intern should follow the specific guidelines to enhance their medication administration safety. Aim: The study aims to assess the nurse intern's medication administration safety performance. Methods: The study conducted at Ain Shams University Hospitals using the descriptive design on 90 nurse interns by using three tools, namely, medication administration knowledge questionnaire, the observational checklist for nurse interns' safety performance, and Medication Administration safety Attitude Rating Scale. Results: Findings of the study revealed that the minority of nurse interns (4.3%) had satisfactory total knowledge, 39% had adequate total practice, and around two-thirds of them (62.6%) had a positive attitude. Conclusion: It is concluding that the nurse interns had unsatisfactory knowledge of medication administration safety, and their related practices are mostly inadequate, although the attitude tends to be high. The study recommended that nurse internship programs should emphasize medication administration safety knowledge and practice with more focus on identified gaps and deficiencies. Further research is proposed to assess the effect of training strategies on the nurse intern's medication administration safety.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
