Hi all,
I am an associate degree RN taking RN-BSN classes and I have a question that I hope someone can help with. If an RN takes out a vial of insulin that is outdated and over the course of 10-15 minutes gives 5 people injections, she/he doesn't ever put the vial in the fridge, so they have only checked the label once. Is that 5 medications errors incidents or just one since they were drawn up at or around the same time? I have tried to find this information but I have a hard time understanding the lingo in the Nurse Practice Act book I am looking things up in. Thanks for any help you can give me.
