Addressing a Trifecta of Overlooked IV Medication Risks (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

The causes of intravenous (IV) medication preparation and administration errors are many, but during the past year the Institute for Safe Medication Practices and other healthcare organizations have identified three specific categories of risk that have been largely unnoticed and inadequately addressed by most healthcare organizations. This activity is designed to help participants address: a failure to consider IV container overfill when preparing certain IV drug infusions; unnecessary dilution of IV medications at the bedside; and unsafe use of syringes, needles, and vials. This monograph describes these risky practices, clarifies misperceptions regarding regulatory requirements, and provides practical recommendations to prevent errors.
