Question: How do you address and prevent medication errors in your practice?

Answer: I follow a systematic approach to medication administration, including verifying orders, checking patient allergies, and confirming dosages. I prioritize double-checking high-risk medications and engage in ongoing education to stay updated on best practices.

Example:

Once, I identified a potential medication error during a routine check. I immediately intervened, verified the order with the prescriber, and prevented the administration of the incorrect medication. This experience emphasized the importance of vigilance in medication safety.
