  • Title: The medication administration process: patients' perspectives.
    Author: Walrath JM, Rose LE.
    Journal: J Nurs Care Qual; 2008; 23(4):345-52. PubMed ID: 18521044.
    Abstract:
    Medication administration in acute care settings is a high-volume and potentially an error-prone activity. This descriptive exploratory study investigates patients' perspective about this process and provides insights for nurses who want to deliver patient-centered care. Findings indicate that patients are acutely aware of nurses' involvement in the medication process; however, the extent patients want to be involved in the process is variable.
