Wounds That Don’t Heal: Nurses Experiences with Medication Errors
First, Do Less Harm: Confronting the Inconvenient Problems of Patient Safety
(2012)
Abstract
Medical errors have been the topic of much research, much publication, and much public concern. Because nurses administer the vast majority of medications, they inevitably make the majority of these administration mistakes. Yet there is little understanding of the complex occupational and personal trauma suffered by the practitioner who makes an error if that person is a nurse.
