What are the complications associated with medication administration in nursing?
Medication administration errors are a significant concern in nursing and can lead to serious complications such as adverse drug reactions, overdose, and underdose. These errors can occur due to factors like incorrect dosage, patient misidentification, and lack of knowledge about the medication. To reduce these complications, nurses should follow the "five rights" of medication administration: the right patient, the right drug, the right dose, the right route, and the right time.
