How Do Medication Errors Happen?
A medication error can occur in several ways:
- The wrong medication can be prescribed.
- The wrong dosage of a medication can be dispensed.
- A nurse or other medical professional can fail to administer the medication properly, by giving the patient the wrong medication, skipping a dose, or doubling a dose.
- The medical reconciliation is not completed properly.
Medical reconciliation is the process by which a nurse or medical practitioner compares a patient’s medication orders to the list of medications the patient has been taking. It is a way to identify mistakes of drug dosage, omissions, duplications, and interactions. Medical reconciliation must be accomplished properly at every patient transition, and failure to do so is the leading cause of medication errors.
