Medication Error: The Error Administration of Phytonadione Nhu L. Vicente El Camino College Medication Error: The Error Administration of Phytonadione Medication error is a problematic event in all healthcare facility. Many scholars have conducted researches to rule out the cause of, and find the solution for, medication error. In their study of neonatal medication error, Sauberan, Dean, Fiedelak, and Abraham (2010) found that the major reason of medication error in their neonatal intensive care units is the mixing up between “look-alike” adult and neonatal strengths (p. 49). In their first case study, the adult strength of Phytonadione (also known as vitamin K1) is incorrectly administered into the neonate at three hours of life. Although the infant is finally discharged in good condition, the mistake is a hard lesson for all healthcare workers.

Use of Bloom’s Taxonomy of Education in Nursing Education The use of Bloom’s Taxonomy of Education in nursing education provides a guideline for data collection, data analysis, evaluation, and implementation of a working plan. In other words, it maps out the critical thinking process. Each domain and level within the domain may not be required in any given situation, which is for the educator to determine based on the educational need or goal. For example, in “Evaluating a Case Study Using Bloom’s Taxonomy of Education” (2008), the goal was to move learners from ‘knowledge’ to ‘application’ on the cognitive domain. Dependent on the goal of the educator and the needs of the students, the use of domains may change.
The school nurse has a key role not only in providing emergency care to students, but also in developing prevention strategies. Many emergencies are avoided in the schools each day because school nurses have assisted in the education of teachers/school staff, parents/guardians and students in prevention and early intervention techniques. Proactive development of individualized health care plans and emergency care plans can also play a key role in prevention. By working collaboratively with school administrators/staff, medical advisors, local EMS agencies, local health care practitioners, and parents/guardians, the school nurse can be instrumental in establishing a comprehensive program of emergency care aimed at reducing student morbidity and mortality. Keeping abreast of practice changes and trends within the field of school nursing is critical.

He found that it was in the use of invasive devices, which increased the infection rate from one HAI per 100 patient’s episodes to 7.2, and goes on to state “this is important for nurses because they manage invasive devices, such as urinary catheters, intravascular cannulae, epidural cannulae, nasogastric tubes, and peg tubes, which often identify the early signs of infection” (McCullach, 1998). The (NMC 2002) states “nurses have a duty to safeguard the wellbeing of patients and have a due regard for the environment of care” Code of professional conduct. Nurses must be sure that they do not contribute to infection risks and must take care to prevent infection whenever possible.
