Calculation Mistakes: Pediatric dosing often requires complex calculations. Errors in these calculations, whether due to mathematical mistakes or incorrect weight measurements, are common. Lack of Standardized Protocols: Not all health facilities have standardized protocols for pediatric dosing, leading to inconsistency in dose calculations and administration. Communication Errors: Miscommunication between healthcare providers, or between providers and caregivers, can result in incorrect dosing. Inadequate Training: Healthcare professionals may lack specific training in pediatric pharmacology, increasing the likelihood of errors.
