Your post about an eight-year-old Jake is a very pertinent story, which nobody wouldn’t expect to see happened; however, things happened such as this case related to medical error. As future nurses, I think that we need to reexamine seriously this medical error in order to figure out an alternative approach to tackle these kinds of issues in the health field. Since we will be soon directly involved, in this case of Jake, the pharmacy should endorse its accountability. However, as an extraordinary nurse, the administration of new prescribed drug to a patient should be done for the first time with precaution by matching carefully the new drug and the Doctor prescription including dosage, route, time, patient, and medication.
