Attention:
If you have any questions, consult your supervising nurse and perform double-checking or ask your instructor. Never prepare or administer medications if you have doubts. It is the right and duty of the nursing professional, in case of insecurity, lack of practice, or doubt, to ask for help from your nurse.
Nurse, it is your responsibility to assess the level of knowledge in medication preparation and administration of your staff. Provide ongoing health education and prepare medications together with less experienced professionals.
AVOID MEDICATION ERRORS AND ADVERSE EVENTS.
