A medication question at the right time (checkpoint 70)

Um possível erro de via e dose é comunicado e verificado sem prescrever tratamento.

A situação

Yesterday in the medication room, Otávio noticed that the tablet and the injection were in similar packages and the route was unclear. The first part of the story was clear.

While the pharmacist was checking the chart, Otávio explained why the team needed to stop the preparation, check the label, and report the concern. If SpO2 falls, the team will recheck and call; the pharmacist confirmed the oral tablet, IV route, allergy, and side effect before the procedure. The patient felt overwhelmed and unwell, so the team asked about stress, sleep, and support. They described a medication problem and a missed dose, asked for advice, and confirmed the next step.

First, they talked about the problem. Then they checked the details and agreed that the dose was confirmed before anyone administered it.

O próximo passo

As a result, the team chose this next step: follow the local safety procedure and notify the team.

In the medication room, the pharmacist reported the change to the next team and asked them to listen carefully.
