COMMON MEDICATION ERRORS

Implicating a beneficial medication regimen depends on precision and timeliness. Many nursing home or assisted living facilities have efficient, safe systems for distributing and administering medication, however, it only takes one error to put a resident’s health at risk.
Common instances of these prescription/medication errors include:

• Delivering the wrong medication to a resident
• Mislabeling or improperly storing medication
• Administering the wrong dosage to a resident
• Giving a resident medication they could be allergic to
• Administering medication that has a known reaction to another prescription
