Dear
Colleague,
Medication safety is more than just preventing administration errors. As nurses, we must also be alert to prescribing errors, dispensing errors, errors of omission, adverse reactions, and so much more. Take some time to read the articles in More Resources; you’ll find great strategies to help you protect patients from medication errors, including:
Coming soon… Focus On: Patient Safety, a new clinical resource collection which will include more articles on medication safety, as well as resources on patient handoffs, infections, pressure ulcers, falls, and more. Also, don’t miss our next issue about family issues, plus a new selection of articles and CEs.
