8-1 Prevention—This patient safety incident could have been prevented if the nurse had
carefully read both the patient care order and the medication label. The patient care order
may have misled the nurse by placing the volume first and then the drug dosage. If confused
by the order, the nurse should have clarified the intent with the prescriber. By focusing on the
volume, the nurse failed to follow the steps in dosage calculation. Had the nurse noted 250
mg as the desired dosage and the supply (or on-hand) dosage as 125 mg per 5 mL, the
correct amount to be administered would have been clear. Slow down and take time to
compare the order with the labels. Calculate each dose carefully before preparing and
administering both solid- and liquid-form medications.
