MEDICATION ERRORS: PREVENTING ERRORS IN EMERGENCY CARE

Course overview

Errors in medication administration can occur in the ED due in part to overcrowding of patients, insufficient numbers of clinical staff members, and the urgency with which treatment is administered. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of how to prevent medication errors in the ED. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
