This last can lead to serious problems. Indeed, when an overworked and inexperienced staff is made responsible for administering medications, the risk for error increases. Giving the wrong medication or wrong dosage, failing monitor patient for adverse reactions, administering medications late or missing doses, and prescribing the wrong medicine are just some of the medication errors that can result from such negligence.
