Medication Errors

For many patients, the most terrible part of the hospital is to have to rely on others to control the decision to change life. Most of this is a medicine given during our care. I can imagine only what is necessary for a stranger to come in and begin to take medicine. It would be particularly scary if I did not know what these medicines did, or if they had a negative impact. Unfortunately, there is no basis that many patients are afraid of drug errors.

Sakowski and Dozier (2008) has reported that a drug mistake that is harmful to the patient is the main cause of drug-related death. Because they think that mistakes do not harm or they do not fear sexual punishment, loss of professional reputation, or litigation, drug errors may not be reported. Errors can occur at any stage of the drug administration process. Most errors occur during processing of the prescription of the doctor or during actual administration. As the doctor 's instructions gave me lots of comments, most errors were found before the patient actually received the medication. However, the surgeon is in charge of final confirmation before dosing.

In this review article we will explain the contribution of nurses to reduce the incidence of medication errors. Nurses who are cautious about taking precautionary measures against medication errors are important factors to prevent medication errors. In addition to the role of clinical nurses in preventing misoperation, it is important for administrators and educators. Researchers also argue that changes in the characteristics of drug management in medical systems are another factor to protect patients from drug errors. Of course, it is difficult to resolve medication errors, but you can still reduce the frequency. In summary, it is clear that during the care period all types of errors are reduced and a safe hospital environment is promoted.
