At a minimum, you must address the following questions:


1. Explain the main point of the article.
 Medication errors are a major concern among nursing schools and health care
facilities in the Philippines as it is a critical issue for patient safety. In particular,
administering medication is an essential part of medical care that is given safely
and accurately by the medical practitioner. This article points out the perception
of nursing students in Iligan City regarding the contributing factors to medication
errors. The categories of factors that are being identified in correlation to the
perceived medical errors include knowledge, administrative, personal, and
environmental factors.

2. How will you apply the insights you gained from this article? Connect it to the concept of
the nursing process in pharmacology.
 The information in this article helped comprehend how important the nursing
procedure is when it comes to administering and providing medicines to patients.
It is critical that we put what we've learned about the nursing process into
practice. This will help us make drug administration decisions as nurses and
ensure that our patients' safety and medical needs are met. Overall, this study

shows that students' administration errors may be more frequent than suspected,
and Faculty might consider curriculum revisions that incorporate medication use
safety throughout each course in nursing major courses. Following the nursing
procedure ensures the safety of the patient as well as an organized flow while
providing medication and a sense of confidence in our responsibility.

3. Discuss the rights of medication.


 Understanding the 10 Rights of Drug Administration can help prevent many
medication errors. Nurses, who are primarily involved in the administration of
medications, benefit from this simplified memory aid to help guide them to
administer medications safely. Nurses are responsible for ensuring safe and
quality patient care at all times. As many nursing tasks involve a degree of risk,
medication administration arguably carries the greatest risk. Research on medical
administration errors (MAEs) showed that there is a 60% error rate mainly in the
form of wrong time, rate, or dose. Some medication errors cause permanent
disability and for others the errors are fatal. Follow these 10 rights of drug
administration to ensure safe patient care.
1. Right Drug.
 The first right of drug administration is to check and verify if it’s the right name
and form. Beware of look-alike and sound-alike medication names. Misreading
medication names that look similar is a common mistake. These look-alike
medication names may also sound alike and can lead to errors associated with
verbal prescriptions. Check out The Joint Commission’s list of look-alike/sound-
alike drugs.
2. Right Patient.
 Ask the name of the client and check his/her ID band before giving the
medication. Even if you know that patient’s name, you still need to ask just to
verify.
3. Right Dose.
 Check the medication sheet and the doctor’s order before medicating. Be aware of
the difference between an adult and a pediatric dose.
4. Right Route.
 Check the order if it’s oral, IV, SQ, IM, etc..
5. Right Time and Frequency.
 Check the order for when it would be given and when was the last time it was
given.
6. Right Documentation.
 Make sure to write the time and any remarks on the chart correctly.

7. Right History and Assessment.


 Secure a copy of the client’s history to drug interactions and allergies.
8. Drug approach and Right to Refuse.
 Give the client enough autonomy to refuse the medication after thoroughly
explaining the effects.
9. Right Drug-Drug Interaction and Evaluation.
 Review any medications previously given or the diet of the patient that can yield a
bad interaction to the drug to be given. Check also the expiry date of the
medication being given.
10. Right Education and Information.
 Provide enough knowledge to the patient of what drug he/she would be taking and
what are the expected therapeutic and side effects.
