  • Title: Light for nurses' work in the 21st century: a review of lighting, human vision limitations, and medication administration.
    Author: Graves K, Symes L, Cesario SK.
    Journal: J Nurs Care Qual; 2014; 29(3):287-94. PubMed ID: 24335492.
    Abstract:
    A literature review was conducted to determine the state of the science related to medication errors and light. The limited literature is discussed in relationship to human vision and light needs. Little systematic action has been taken to increase nurses' awareness of the connection between lighting and potential medication errors. Implications for nursing practice and research about light conditions are provided. Interventions from other industries may aid nursing in making decisions about light conditions.
