Abstract: | A poster presentation regarding nurses perception of intravenous medication administration errors in paediatrics. Introduction: Paediatric nurses activities are challenging and require constant vigilance in providing quality care to paediatrics. Continuous upgrading of knowledge is required to maintain the appropriate care and diligence in assessment of the patient and parenteral concerns. Intravenous (IV) medication administration is more error prone than other routes and a substantial proportion of medication administration errors (MAEs) occur in hospitalised paediatric patients due to the greater complexity in dosing and administration. Aims: To identify difficulties encountered in IV medication administration, to assess the perception of nurses about factors that contribute to MAEs and to investigate possible preventive measures. |
