NURSING IMPLICATIONS Assessment Treatment and prevention of riboflavin deficiency, which may be associated with poor nutritional status or chronic debilitating illnesses. Action Active metabolites serve as coenzymes for metabolic reactions involving transfer of hydrogen ions, including tissue respiration. Necessary for normal RBC function. Therapeutic Effects: Replacement in or prevention of deficiency. Pharmacokinetics Absorption: Well absorbed from the upper GI tract by an active transport process. Distribution: Widely distributed. Crosses the placenta and enters breast milk. Metabolism and Excretion: Converted to flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), which are the active coenzymes. Amounts in excess of requirements are excreted unchanged by the kidneys. Half-life: 66– 84 min. TIME/ACTION PROFILE ROUTE ONSET PEAK DURATION PO unknown unknown unknown Contraindications/Precautions Contraindicated in: No known contraindications. Use Cautiously in: No known precautions. Adverse Reactions/Side Effects GU: yellow discoloration of urine (large doses only). ⫽ Canadian drug name. ⫽ Genetic Implication. flammation and irritation, photophobia, and cheilosis) prior to and periodically throughout therapy. ● Lab Test Considerations: May cause false elevations in urobilinogen and urinary catecholamine measurements. Potential Nursing Diagnoses Imbalanced nutrition: less than body requirements (Indications) Deficient knowledge, related to medication regimen (Patient/Family Teaching) Implementation ● Because of infrequency of single B-vitamin deficiencies, combinations are com- monly administered. Patient/Family Teaching ● Instruct patient to take as directed. If a dose is missed, it may be omitted, because an extended period of time is required to become deficient in riboflavin. ● Encourage patient to comply with diet recommendations of health care profes- sional. Explain that the best source of vitamins is a well-balanced diet with foods from the four basic food groups. Foods high in riboflavin include dairy products; enriched flour; nuts; meats; fish; and green, leafy vegetables; little is lost during cooking. ● Patients self-medicating with vitamin supplements should be cautioned not to exceed RDA. The effectiveness of megadoses for treatment of various medical conditions is unproved and may cause side effects. ● Advise patient to avoid alcoholic beverages; alcohol impairs the absorption of riboflavin.
