It involves collaboration among various stakeholders, including patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and administrators, to ensure the responsible provision of pharmacotherapy for achieving positive patient outcomes. The focus is on individualizing treatment regimens to maximize therapeutic benefits while minimizing adverse effects. Objective: This research article aims to assess the level of interprofessional collaboration between nursing staff and pharmacists in patient care, evaluate the impact of evidence-based pharmaceutical care on patient outcomes, explore nursing staff's involvement in medication management and patient education, investigate nursing staff's attitudes towards pharmaceutical care and collaboration, and contribute to the understanding of nurses' roles in pharmaceutical care and interprofessional collaboration. Conclusion: The article underscores the significance of interprofessional collaboration in pharmaceutical care, with a specific emphasis on the valuable contributions of nurses. By incorporating evidence-based practices, healthcare providers can tailor treatment plans to individual patient needs, enhance medication adherence, prevent errors, and empower patients through education. Recognizing and leveraging nurses' roles in pharmaceutical care can lead to more efficient healthcare provision, ensuring patient safety and improved outcomes. Embracing integrated, person-centered care involving all stakeholders is crucial for achieving optimal pharmaceutical care and enhancing overall patient well-being.
