Common Medication Errors
Typically, medication errors at nursing homes are the result of negligence or miscommunication. Common mistakes include:
- Incorrect dose — Miscommunication or misread dosages on the prescription
- Overdoses — By residents who aren’t properly supervised or when a prescription is misread by staff or the pharmacist
- Incorrect medication — The original prescription is misread or the wrong medication is given by staff
There may also be circumstances when a patient is unable to communicate regarding an incorrect dose or he or she may be unable to recognize the error due to mental incapacity. And, unfortunately, facilities with inadequate staff may deliberately overmedicate their residents to better control them.
