Core Tip

Core Tip: Evidence-based nursing effectively reduced the risk of polypharmacy in older patients undergoing cholecystectomy. Improving medication knowledge, management capability, and adherence minimizes adverse medication behaviors, such as duplication, missed doses, and self-discontinuation. This approach also lowers adverse reaction rates and potential medication hazard levels, thereby providing strong clinical support for safer perioperative care.
