Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios

Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios

Pharmaceutical poisoning can occur through various channels, impacting an estimated 2 million hospitalized patients in the U.S. annually with serious adverse drug responses. These scenarios encompass both therapeutic uses, such as drug toxicity, where even standard dosages can lead to severe central nervous system depression, and non-therapeutic exposures, including accidental ingestion by children, and environmental and occupational exposures.Unintentional poisonings often involve exploratory...

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Errors occurring during blood pressure monitoring

Errors occurring during blood pressure monitoring

Blood pressure monitoring is a crucial clinical procedure in diagnosing and managing various cardiovascular conditions. Despite its significance, the accuracy of blood pressure measurements can be compromised by multiple factors, potentially leading to either falsely high or low readings. These inaccuracies are critical as they can significantly impact patient care. So, it is vital to understand these challenges deeply and adopt strategic approaches to minimize errors.
Several factors...

Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis

Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis

The nurse documents nursing diagnoses and enters them into the patient record. The identified patient's nursing diagnosis is either written out with a plan of care or entered into the electronic health record.
In some settings, data-driven computerized decision support systems are in place, allowing for more accurate nursing diagnoses. The database within one of these systems includes diagnostic labels defining characteristics, activities, and indicators for nursing. A nurse enters...

Area of Science:

Nursing Education
Patient Safety
Medication Administration

Background:

Medication errors pose a significant risk in healthcare.
Nursing students are in a critical phase of learning medication administration.
Understanding the scope of errors made by nursing students is vital for improving patient safety and educational strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically review and synthesize empirical evidence on medication errors and near misses among prelicensure nursing students.
To identify the incidence and patterns of medication errors and near misses in this population.

Main Methods:

A systematic literature review was conducted.
Original research publications were searched and selected based on predefined inclusion criteria.
Nineteen articles met the criteria for final analysis.

Main Results:

The available empirical evidence on nursing students' medication errors is limited.
Studies indicate a high incidence of medication errors and near misses involving prelicensure nursing students.
Further analysis of error types and contributing factors is warranted.

Conclusions:

Current evidence suggests a high rate of medication errors and near misses among nursing students.
There is a need for more research to understand the contributing factors and develop targeted interventions.
Improving medication safety in nursing education is crucial for future practice.
