Companies have specific policies and protocols in place to safeguard against medication errors to ensure patient safety. However, by not verifying medication orders, the nurse may do more harm than good. As clinical manager of a chronic dialysis center, we have algorithms and protocols to adjust medication doses and ensure correct dosage administration. Patients labs are drawn weekly, and medication dose adjustments are completed per algorithms from each new lab result. If a nurse administers medications without checking for updated dose changes before administration, the incorrect dose may be administered, resulting in a medication error. These medications are titrated very closely, and not verifying the new dose changes can lead to critical medication errors and cause harm to the patient. For example, a charge nurse administered medication without checking the electronic algorithm and most current labs. By this, she administered a medication that, per the algorithm, should have been held. Although the patient did not suffer injury, this will negatively impact the quality outcomes for the clinic.
