Safe prescription and administration of medication in hospital
Eva Cela
Rīga Stradiņš University, Latvia
Healthcare is counted as the most insecure high-risk sectors.
Adverse events or incidents also include errors that occur
during the administration of medicines. For safe prescription
and administration of medicines, nurses need to be trained in
how to handle adverse events.
Medication is themost common formof medical intervention
used worldwide. Using them safely and appropriately, they
significantly improve the health and well-being of patients.
However, despite the best intentions of healthcare providers
and the development of healthcare systems, medicines can
cause patient safety interruptions
Patient safety at the time of hospitalization is one of their
rights and a priority for healthcare professionals. Errors during
medical care interventions or hospitalization have turned
researchers' attention over the past decade. It is estimated
that in Member States between 8% and 12% of patients
admitted to hospital suffer from adverse events during
healthcare. Poor patient safety is both a serious public health
problem and a heavy economic burden on limited healthcare
resources. Much of unwanted events, both in the hospital
sector and in primary care, are prevented by systemic factors
that seem to account for most of them
Based on the aim of the research work, to find out the
procedure of safe prescription and administration of oral
medication in hospital and the hypothesis put forward, the
research was carried out in one of hospitals. The quantitative
method was used in the study, nurses from different sectors
were surveyed.
The results show that the hypothesis put forward was
partially confirmed. Administration of oral medications takes
place partly in accordancewith the principles of good practice
and patient safety.
Conclusions:
Physical rehabilitation of young children with
paralytic syndromes improves motor activity, and in some
reduces chronic pain and improves emotional state. The
authors speculate improving the emotional state of the
child should be ensured by improving the emotional state of
mothers with the help of psychological support.
