AN OVERVIEW IN ROLES OF PHARMACIST IN PREPARATION OF INPATIENT INTRAVENOUS MEDICATION AND ADMINISTRATION ERROR RECOGNITION

Abstract

pharmaceutical errors are preventable incidents that may arise at any phase of the pharmaceutical utilization process. They are prevalent in healthcare systems and are associated with heightened morbidity and mortality risk. A variety of techniques, including various pharmacy-based therapies, have been examined to mitigate their occurrence. Pharmacist-led teaching programs demonstrate significant potential benefits. Parenteral nutrition (PN) therapy is a sophisticated and essential intervention that necessitates specialized clinical expertise, abilities, and practical experience to prevent errors in prescribing, compounding, and patient management. Pharmacists possessing sufficient clinical training and proficiency in PN therapy can play a crucial role in the management of patients undergoing PN therapy. The current review study aims to discuss and emphasize the roles of pharmacists in the preparation of inpatient intravenous medications and the recognition of delivery errors.
