Description The following Masters of Nursing thesis develops a project aimed to prevent future IV medication errors using the Iowa Model, and outlines specific details of the proposed interventions to prevent IV medication errors.
Abstract Intravenous (IV) medication compatibility errors are a problem among critical care patients. This MSN paper will discuss the importance of preventing IV medication errors and strategies to do so. The literature review provides sources showing that patient safety is a priority for healthcare. It also provides statistics on IV medication compatibility and ways to prevent errors. This project is led by nurses, management, unit educators, and pharmacists to ensure that relevant and correct information is provided. The paper explains the plan to prevent future IV medication errors using the Iowa Model, and outlines specific details of the proposed interventions to prevent IV medication errors. The plan is based on equipping each room with a medication compatibility chart that nurses can access when dealing with critical patients. The goal of this project is to decrease medication errors through the use of IV compatibility charts.
