Medication Errors and the Injuries they Cause
Medication errors can cause serious injuries and even death. They can cause severe allergic responses, heart and kidney damage, brain damage and internal bleeding.
Doctors, pharmacists, and medical staff guard against medical malpractice, but nursing home negligence – overworked staff, poor conditions and cutting corners –can lead to serious medication errors:
- Pharmacists giving the wrong dosage or type of drug
- Unsupervised patients taking the wrong medication or the wrong dose
- Staff administering the wrong dosage or drug
- Wrong doses or drugs given through IVs
- Chemical restraints that lead to toxic drug overdoses
