Description
In the paper I uploaded I need some changes, here are the points my teacher need to be applied.
This is my teacher comment to my paper:
The assessment provided a rational summary of the healthcare issue pertaining to medication errors. However, you neglected to discuss your personal experience/interest in this topic. Likewise, a discussion of the criteria used for the literature search and how the credibility and relevance of the sources were assessed could not be found. An analysis of an additional peer-reviewed journal article is needed for this submission. Please refer to the sample paper on how to set up the annotated bibliography format. Also, you did not provide a discussion of what was learned from developing an annotated bibliography. Lastly, all areas of revisions should be highlighted in yellow!(PLEASE HIGHLIGHT IN YELLOW ALL CHANGES YOU MADE IN THE DOCUMENT I UPLOADED.) Thanks
1-
Identify academic peer-reviewed journal articles relevant to a health care problem or issue and describe the criteria used for the literature search.
2-This criterion requires you to describe the criteria used for the literature search.
Assess the credibility and relevance of information sources.
3-This criterion requires you to discuss how the credibility and relevance of the sources were assessed.
Analyze academic peer-reviewed journal articles using the annotated bibliography organizational format.
4- You included a befitting analysis for three peer-reviewed journal articles. However, you are missing vital elements of the annotated bibliography organizational format. Please see the sample paper for the format. Furthermore, this criterion requires you to analyze four peer-reviewed articles. Also, a rationale for the inclusion of each article would strengthen this criterion.
Summarize what was learned from developing an annotated bibliography.
This criterion requires you to discuss what was learned from developing an annotated bibliography.

Medication Error
Medicine is used worldwide; in hospitals, where a professional is being trusted to
administer it, or at home where a patient becomes responsible to take his/her own medication not
worrying if their doctor prescribed the wrong name of drug or correct dosage, or simply the
doubt of the pharmacist handing you, your monthly dose of blood thinners for your recent
diagnosed A-fib or the package next to yours, which contained a monthly dose of steroids
instead. Every human being is vulnerable to make a mistake. The only problem is, that a single
mistake this small can easily take away the life of a patient. In this annotated bibliography, I will
be touching base on some few points to help reduce the amount of yearly deaths due to health
care professional’s mistake and show shocking statistics of this common error in our daily work
site.

We often take on the responsibility of continuing our care at home following with the
prescribed medication our doctors acknowledge as the best possible treatment. As you
can see in this article, a patient was clinically deteriorating due to incorrectly dispersion
of Navane (an antipsychotic) instead of Norvasc (a Calcium Channel Blocker).
The Swiss Cheese Model is a system in which can demonstrate the accident in a

error is any error occurring in the medication use process, including during prescribing,
transcribing, dispensing, administration, adherence, and/or monitoring (Krishnamurth, M.

systems are being enforced to be used by all health care professionals, to help prevent any
mistake that could interfere with the care we are trying to provide. Medical use is
predicted to thrive as our life expectancy raises, and medicine expands with new
complications, along with adverse side effects. Evidently, these issues are identified, and
new evidence has been proven to help prevent future disadvantages.

Statistics have demonstrated how medication errors have become the third leading cause
of death in the U.S, not including outpatient settings, including nursing homes. The
comparison between over 40 years indicates a slight diminish of patient death in an
inpatient setting. Although, this has been defined as unintended act we focus on
preventable adverse effects causing death from medication administration errors. We can
read in this piece, Harvard’s study in 1984 has data informing us of an estimate of nearly
80% of deaths could have been prevented. This issue should be dictated in every heath
care framework and develop strict guidelines when it comes to medication
administration. However, home medications are scenarios in which data was not
collected but are many misguided medications that wind up provoking impairment to a
patient.

In this article, multiple factors in which contribute to the cause of medication errors are
discussed. From the stress or tiredness of a nurse, to not following properly the 5 rights of drug
administration or reinforcing the acronym DRAINS, which can help prevent common mistakes.
People have natural tendencies to look for shortcuts (Nute, C. Reducing Medication Errors,
2014). But overall it has been proven through a semi-structured questionnaire that the three most
common circumstances associated with medication errors included, the physical administration
of drugs, preparation of the drug without rechecking and unfortunately, an inexperienced but
qualified staff.
One of the most frequently reported incident types, is in acute care setting and simple
distractions or interruptions due to preoccupied nurses, can easily lead you to make a medication
administration error. Additionally, new systems have been demonstrated to aid the prevention of
these mistakes. For example, electronic prescribing has excluded the confusion of illegibility,
but concurrently exposed new risks at prescribing the wrong dose or route based on the selection
of a drop-down menu.
In addition, the conventional use of automated dispensing cabinets, which are used in
80% of our hospital settings. Although this improves efficiency and reduces prone risks and
confidence in a nurse to administered what is being displayed, a pharmacist can package the
medications inaccurately when dispensing in each drug container. I’m aware these aren’t secure
to prevent a mistake, but as nurses we must be conscious of every action.
