Please help with an assignment i have! I don't have anyone that i can talk to so im reaching out and hopefully get some help with this assignment.



The following is what i have to do for class:
Project: Medication error
Instructions: Interview an RN/LVN who dispenses and passes medications in his/her work. (acute or long term care)
Questions:
1.Has there been an instance wherein medication errors (wrong drug, dosage, patient, time) were done by such Nurse or another nurse in their place of work?
2.What was done afterwards? Was the patient notified? What happened to the patient?
3.What are the institutional policies set forth by their place of employment to correct or prevent such errors from happening? What are nurses doing themselves to prevent such occurrence?
4.What are the state and federal regulation laws that a nurse is liable for if ever medication errors occurs?
If an experianced and working nurse who does med's could PLEASE help me, i would REALLY appreciate it. There doesn't have to be any names, of course (respecting HIPPA rules), of any sort. Just broad terms, like "patient" "facility" etc....It would be a great help if anyone could help me! Thank you!
