  • Title: When the 5 rights go wrong: medication errors from the nursing perspective.
    Author: Jones JH, Treiber L.
    Journal: J Nurs Care Qual; 2010; 25(3):240-7. PubMed ID: 20164807.
    Abstract:
    This study describes nurses' perceptions about how and why medication errors occur and their personal experiences with medication errors. A survey was mailed to a random sample of registered nurses. Two hundred and two responded. Of those, 158 (78%) nurses admitted making medication errors and provided details about these errors. This study, by providing the perspective of frontline nurses, contributes to the body of knowledge on medication errors.
