Types of Medication Errors

Prescription drugs can alleviate pain, treat infection, and perform any of a number of other functions that bring patients comfort and save lives. If they are improperly used, however, the opposite can occur.

The following are examples of potential types of medication errors:

• Prescribing the wrong medication
• Prescribing the wrong dose based on the patient’s age, weight, etc.
• Prescribing a medication to which the patient has a known allergy
• Prescribing a medication that will adversely react to a drug the patient is already taking
• Administering the wrong medication
• Administering the wrong dose of the right medication
• Failing to properly monitor a patient who is on a new medication
• Failing to provide proper usage/dosage instructions to a patient with a new medication

Patients may also suffer harm from defective drugs, drugs that are mismarketed, and drugs that are improperly tested.
