Medication error- Etiology and strategic methods to reduce the incidence of M...Dr. Jibin Mathew
A medication error is any preventable event that may cause or lead to inappropriate medication use or patient harm while the medication is in the control of the health care professional, patient, or consumer
Medications are a critical component of the care provided to patients and are used for diagnostic, symptomatic,
preventive, curative, and palliative treatment and management of diseases and conditions. A medication
system that supports optimal medication management must include processes that support safe and effective
medication use. Safe, effective medication use involves a multidisciplinary, coordinated effort of health care
practitioners applying the principles of process design, implementation, and improvement to all aspects of
the medication management process, which includes the selecting, procuring, storing, ordering/prescribing,
transcribing, distributing, preparing, dispensing, administering, documenting, and monitoring of medication
therapies

Patient Safety is a health care discipline that emerged with the evolving complexity in health care systems and the resulting rise of patient harm in health care facilities.
It aims to prevent and reduce risks, errors and harm that occur to patients during provision of health care.
A cornerstone of the discipline is continuous improvement based on learning from errors and adverse events.

micro teaching on communication m.sc nursing.pdfAnurag Sharma
Microteaching is a unique model of practice teaching. It is a viable instrument for the. desired change in the teaching behavior or the behavior potential which, in specified types of real. classroom situations, tends to facilitate the achievement of specified types of objectives.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.

2. Objectives
• Learn the safety and risks of medications
• How aging and other factors affects medication
response
• Learn the difference between administration and
self-administration
• Legal implications
• Residents rights and responsibilities
• Learn full training outline
• Definition of Medication Administration
3. Safety and medication
• Safe medication use is especially important for
older adult who use more prescription and
over-the-counter than any other age group
• The more medications a person use the
greater the chance of medication errors
Such as:
• Unsafe drug interactions
• Falls
• Motor vehicle accidents
4. Administration vs. Self-Administration
of Medications
• Self-administration is defined as, “The act of a
resident, who is independently capable of
reading and understanding the labels of drugs
ordered by a physician, in opening and
accessing prepackaged drug containers,
accurately identifying and taking the correct
dosage of the drugs as ordered by the
physician, at the correct time and under the
correct circumstances.”
5. Administration vs. Self-Administration
of Medications
• Whenever possible, the resident / client
should, if determined capable, keep their
supply of medications in their own room or
apartment, securely locked, and be allowed to
self-administer their medications.
• Observation and assistance with taking
medications is required for those who are
determined to be unable to self-administer.
6. Legal Implications
• Successful completion of a State-approved medication
administration course does not lead to a certification
or a license.
• Upon completion of the medication administration
training course, and successfully obtaining a passing
score on the State-approved test, the individual may
administer medications under the supervision of a
registered nurse.
• Completion of the State-approved medication course
and passing the State-approved test does not allow an
individual to make any type of judgment, assessment,
or evaluation of a resident / client.
7. Resident and Proprietor Rights and
Responsibilities
• An integral part of best practice in medication
administration is observing resident rights.
8. Resident rights
• Residents have the right to give informed consent
for any medical intervention, including
medications.
• Residents have the right to refuse medications.
• Residents also have the right to be counseled
regarding adverse effects of medication refusal.
• If a resident / client is not in a condition to give
informed consent, consent should be obtained
from the resident / client’s legal representative.
9. Facilities Responsibilities
• Facilities must ensure that systems and processes
are in place to minimize the risk of medication
error and to contribute to the appropriate use of
medications by all residents.
• The facility is responsible for ensuring that all
medications are securely stored in a manner that
meets legislative and manufacturers’
requirements / guidelines and protects the
resident /client’s safety and the safety of staff
10. Medication Administration Training
Outline
• The purpose of the Training Resource Manual
for medication administration is to provide
instruction, on how safely to administer
medications under the medication
administration law and rule, to individuals
who have met all eligibility criteria.
11. Medication Training Outline
• To administer medications according to written physician orders;
• To maintain proper documentation of the administration of both
prescription and nonprescription (over-the counter) drugs;
• To use the proper techniques when administering medications by
the various routes;
• To identify commonly used medical abbreviations;
• To identify commonly used drugs, actions and side effects;
• To identify changes in resident status;
• To follow protocol for communications with the RN regarding
changes in health status and/or administering as needed (PRN)
medications; and
• To recognize and understanding the limitations for administering
medications.
12. More Job-Specific Legal Implications
• All medications administered by qualified
personnel must be administered in
accordance with prescribed orders, facility
policy, and all applicable Federal and State
laws and regulations. Administration of
medications may be delegated to non-licensed
staff only in approved facilities.
13. Medication Administration
• is assisting a person in the ingestion,
application or inhalation of medications,
including both prescription and non-
prescription drugs or using universal
precautions for rectal or vaginal insertion of
medication according to the printed directions
by a physician or other authorized health care
practitioner.
14. Delegation
• is the handing over of a task to another
person, usually a subordinate.
• It is the assignment of authority and
responsibility to another person to carry out
specific activities or functions
15. Medication Administering Routes
• Various routes by which an MAP is permitted by law to
administer medications. The proper route for
administration of each must be specified in the physician’s
order.
– Different types of common routes
• Oral – swallowed by mouth
• Sublingual – dissolved under the tongue
• Topical / Transdermal – applied to the skin, absorbed from a patch
• Eye (opthalmic) – drops or ointments instilled / applied to the eye
• Ear (otic) – drops placed in the ear
• Nasal – placed in the nose/nostril
• Rectal – inserted into the rectum
• Vaginal – inserted into the vagina
• Inhalant – taken in through the mouth or nose by breathing in or
inhaling
16. Non-Authorized Routes of
Administering
• The following may NOT be delegated to an
MAP:
– Injections
– Any parenteral (instilled into body tissue)
medications
– Irrigations or debriding agents used in the
treatment of skin conditions or minor abrasions
– Wound care
