Abstract

Errors in medication administration are among the most underreported medical mistakes, and this raises alarm bells all around the world. "any avoidable incident that might lead to an incorrect pharmaceutical usage that has the potential of causing damage to the patient" can be regarded as a medication mistake [1-6]. Despite the fact that drugs can be beneficial, they can also be harmful if misused. Several causes, including a lack of performance, a lack of information, slips, and lapses, may be to blame for the harm caused by prescription usage. Mistakes in medication administration can have a significant impact on a patient's health care costs and quality of life, as well as on the health care providers who care for them. It's important to improve knowledge about pharmaceutical mistakes and their repercussions in order to decrease them [7, 8].
