How Do Healthcare Providers Ensure Medication Safety?
Medication safety in neonatal care involves several steps:
Weight-Based Dosing: Medications are often dosed based on the infant's weight to ensure efficacy and minimize side effects. Double-Checking: Nurses and pharmacists double-check medication orders and dosages to prevent errors. Electronic Medical Records (EMRs): EMRs help in maintaining accurate records and alert healthcare providers to potential drug interactions or allergies.
