Cefuroxime is a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. Common side effects include gastrointestinal issues, rashes, and seizures at high doses. Nurses are responsible for assessing the patient, checking for allergies, monitoring for side effects, and educating the patient about the medication and potential adverse reactions. Ketorolac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug used to treat moderate to severe pain. It works by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. Common side effects include gastrointestinal bleeding and renal toxicity. Nurses monitor for side effects, assess pain levels, and educate patients about proper use and reporting of any adverse reactions

Toradol inhibits platelet function and is, therefore, contraindicated in patients with suspected or confirmed cerebrovascular bleeding, hemorrhagic diathesis, incomplete hemostasis, and those at high risk of bleeding (see WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS), and patients currently receiving aspirin or NSAIDs because of the cumulative risks of inducing serious NSAID-related adverse events.
