Is the rate of medication safety being higher when nurses provide care to the one patient at a time compared to care provided to more than three patients at a time in a hospital setting?
As suggested by Asensi-Vicente, Jiménez-Ruiz, and Vizcaya-Moreno (2018), medication e
ors are very frequent in the healthcare industry. Reducing the rate of medication safety in nursing practice has become pressing concern. This is because lack of medication safety can be fatal to the patients. It has been noted that rate of medication e
ors occur is around 42% in the nursing practice. Although, minor cases of medication e
ors failed to get registered with the management but major cases of medication e
ors, which result in death of the patient get registered and cost the job of the nurse.
As suggested by Kosari (2018), the most common type of medication e
ors which occur in nursing practice include delaying of medicine, administering of the medicine in wrong form, overdose of the medicine, prescription of the wrong medicine, and mixing of two medicines which have react with each other. Despite of occu
ence of the medication standards, which nurses need to practice, yet medication safety is very poor. This occur due to negligence of the nurses due to heavy rush hours, shortage of staff, nursing burnout, and large number of patients treated at once. It must be noted that medication safety is an indicator of quality of care given to the patients
