Area of Science:

Nursing
Cognitive Science
Healthcare Informatics

Background:

Memory errors, defined as the inability to encode, maintain, or retrieve information, present significant challenges in healthcare.
Specific memory errors, such as medication timing and adherence issues, impact patient safety and treatment efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose the identification of memory error as a formal nursing diagnosis.
To explore nursing interventions for common memory errors related to medication management.

Main Methods:

Conceptual analysis of memory error in the nursing context.
Discussion of clinical scenarios involving medication-related memory errors.

Main Results:

Memory error is a distinct clinical issue warranting recognition as a nursing diagnosis.
