👉 In the context of medicine and healthcare, "preluded" is a medical term used to describe the process by which patients are given an injection or medication before they receive treatment. This typically involves administering medication through a vein into a central line or other route that allows for easier administration of the medication to the body. The goal of pre-liminary care is to minimize any potential side effects and ensure that the patient receives the appropriate level of treatment in a safe and effective manner.
