REACTION:I understand more about the importance of administering
medication with this journal. Its an eye opener not just for me but
for my future colleague as well. As quoted in the above conclusion
Good communication, clarity and vigilance are vital whenever drugs
are being administered. Medicine administration is a skilled but
potentially dangerous procedure and it is essential to be alert to
possible pitfalls and to follow guidelines in order to minimize the
risks. When undertaking the administration of medicines nurses must
be willing to take responsibility for their actions and rectify any
shortfalls in their knowledge. However, for this to happen there
needs to be a culture in which nurses can report errors or near
misses without fear of reprisal. Incidents should be turned into
situations from which lessons are learnt and progress is made.Being
a student nurse and soon to be a license nurse I will be very
vigilant and super extra careful in administering medication
because medication error cant just harm the life of my future
patient but my career and license are also at stake.
