Medication safety and Prevention of Medication errors.pptxsats81
The topic is related to pharmacology in nursing. The topic concretely described about common medical errors in medication prescription and administration .The topic also include how we can prevent medication errors at different stages of emdication dispensing.
medication Adherence defined as the act of filling a new prescription for the first time.
The extent to which the patients take medications as prescribed by the prescriber.
Nurses must administer numerous drugs daily in a safe and efficient manner. The nurse should administer drugs in accord with nursing standards of practice and agency policy. The safe storage and maintenance of an adequate supply of drugs are other responsibilities of the nurse.
The nurse documents the actual administration of medications on the medication administration record. The MAR is a medical record form that contains the drug’s name, dose, route, and frequency of administration
A medical error is a preventable adverse effect of care, whether or not it is evident or harmful to the patient.
May occur at any time, from the prescription to consumption of the medicines by the patient

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Anti ulcer drugs and their Advance pharmacology ||
Anti-ulcer drugs are medications used to prevent and treat ulcers in the stomach and upper part of the small intestine (duodenal ulcers). These ulcers are often caused by an imbalance between stomach acid and the mucosal lining, which protects the stomach lining.
||Scope: Overview of various classes of anti-ulcer drugs, their mechanisms of action, indications, side effects, and clinical considerations.
2. Medication errors
• Medication errors, broadly defined as any
error in the administration, prescription or
dispensing of a drug.
• These can occur in anyway along the route
from the doctor who prescribes it to the
ultimate deliverance to the patient.
• The fragmented nature of the healthcare
system has resulted in the increase in various
medical errors.
3. Various medication errors
• Omission errors
• Wrong time errors
• Improper dosing errors
• Wrong dose errors
• Improper administration technique errors
• Wrong drug preparation errors
• Fragmented care errors
5. Wrong time error
• Sometimes medication is given outside the predetermined
interval from its scheduled time.
• Again this might have its impact on the overall therapy
6. Improper dosing error
• A greater or lesser amount of a medication is delivered than
is required to manage the patient's condition.
7. Improper administration
technique errors
• Administering a medication intravenously instead of orally.
• This error might have a greater impact over the effectiveness
and efficacy of the drug activity
8. Wrong drug preparation errors
• Medication is incorrectly formulated
• Either too much or too little diluting solution added when a
medication is reconstituted
9. Fragmented care errors
• Lack of communication exists between the prescribing
physician and other healthcare professionals.
• Illegible handwriting
Can you read this??????
10. Causes of medication errors
• Distraction
• Environmental factors
• Lack of knowledge / understanding
• Incomplete patient information
• Memory lapses
• Systemic problems
11. Distraction
• A nurse who is distracted may read "diazepam" as "diltiazem.“
• This could happen because of unnecessary haste or
carelessness
• The resultant wrong drug administration could result in severe
side effects
12. Environmental factors
• Poor lighting in the ward setting, heat/cold
and other environmental factor can cause
distraction in the work of the nursing staff.
• Over-exhausation due excessive working
would enhance the chances of more medical
errors by the staff
13. Lack of knowledge /
understanding
• Lack of appropriate knowledge regarding drug, its effects and side
effect would lead to wrong identification or non identification of the
symptoms that might arise
14. Memory lapses
• Forgetting specifications regarding patient treatment and condition
would lead to a major event
• E.g. forgetting to what the patient is allergic to
15. Systemic errors
• Medications that aren't properly labeled, medications with
similar names placed in close proximity to one another, lack of
bar code scanning system, and other issues can lead to
medical errors
16. Preventing medication errors
Some steps should be taken care of in order to minimize
various errors
•Know the patient
•Know the drug
•Keep lines of communication open
•Double check the high alert medicines
•Keep proper documentation
•Participate actively in correcting issues identified
•Keep the patient well informed regarding the treatment
•Ask for continuing education
17. Know the patient
• Have thorough information about patient i.e. name, age, weight,
vitals, allergies, diagnosis, lab reports and the treatment being
administered.
18. Know the drug
• Keep yourself updated regarding accurate, current and readily
available drug information.
• Don’t ignore any questions or concerns about a drug, get it
sorted
19. Keep the lines of
communication open
• Communication is vitally important, as it is the root cause of
many sentinel events, according to the Joint Commission
(TJC).
• Miscommunication amongst the hospital staff. i.e.
physician, nurses, pharmacist and others can lead to the
medication errors.
• Practice a habit of electronic prescription.

20. Double check on high alert
medicine
• High alert medicines can be proved to be devastating results if not
administered with proper care.
• A tragic case involving the death of three infant patients after
receiving massive heparin overdoses happened as a result of
misleading packaging. Since this incident, the drug manufacturer
now uses larger font sizes, tear-off cautionary labels, and different
colors to distinguish drug doses.
• Medications often look alike and sound alike-this can be a source of
errors. Double check high alert medications with another nurse to
prevent accidental overdoses and other medication errors.

22. Document each drug
administered
• Accurate documentation is essential and should include accurate
recording of the drug information, the name of the drug, the dose,
route, time, patient response, and any refusal of the drug by the
patient.
• This would help alleviating the miscommunication error during shift
changes too.
23. Participate actively in correcting issues
identified
• If you see that look-alike or sound-alike medications are stored
next to each other, ask your supervisor to correct the problem,
emphasizing the increased risk of medication errors.
• Request that medications be properly labelled.
• Request that a bar coding system be implemented that allows for
the verification of the six medication rights (right individual,
right medication, right dose, right time, right route, right
documentation).
24. Inform the Patient of the
Drugs They Are
Receiving
• Make sure your patients know the names of the medications they are
taking, what they look like, what they are for, how to take them or
how they will be administered, the dosage, and the potential side
effects and interactions.
25. Ask for continuing
education
• Ask for mandatory training sessions about medications that are
introduced to your facility.
• Training should include medication-related policies, procedures, and
protocols. Updates like these empower nurses and can help prevent
medication errors.
• Nurse educators and continuing education providers should include
all of these prevention tips, and more, in nurse education programs to
help nurses avoid medication errors that could have detrimental or
even deadly consequences for patients, and significant consequences
for nurses, including disciplinary action, job dismissal, criminal
charges, and mental anguish.
