Dosage errors can occur at various stages of the medication process, including prescribing, transcribing, dispensing, and administering. Common types include:
1. Incorrect dosage: Administering too much or too little of a medication. 2. Wrong medication: Giving a patient the wrong drug. 3. Incorrect route: Administering medication via the wrong route (e.g., oral instead of intravenous). 4. Timing errors: Administering medication at the wrong time.
