Use SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation) to communicate your
concerns about this dose of gentamicin to the physician.
What will be an ideal response?
You first need to identify yourself and the patient. Then describe the situation, focusing on the
factors you have identified as placing F.F. at risk for further renal impairment: impaired renal
function, presence of the staghorn calculi, and the already enlarge kidney. Relate the amount of
gentamicin in each dose and that it is at the maximum dose for F.F. You would conclude your remarks
with the recommendation to consult with the pharmacist so that the appropriate safe dose can be
calculated for F.F.
