Med Errors - Page 22

Last night, I found an IV med error. I work at a SNF, and our meds come from an offsite pharm. The IVs were in a plastic bag, and the label for the ABT indicated that it was two different concentrations...it was given by four nurses before I found the error. Just goes to show...do the checks yourself, rather than rely on what others have done. You can't assume that they have all done it correctly, even though 99% of the time they have.
