    So I am reading this as what option can feed into med errors? 

    What are we not doing now, although we did it forever...and the misinterpretation caused many errors.

    exactly...and the rationale behind the answer would be nice in order to see the thought process

    I went with, "A", which was correct. I was just reading too much inton the question and second guessing myself. Pretty much, the answer summary:

    The Joint Commission does not include, "A. Handwritten orders," as an example of medication safety practice.

    Thank you for your input.

    Good to  know. Although facilities without EHR are still using them.
