Administering medication is one of the most fundamental responsibilities in healthcare. Yet when errors are made—whether the wrong drug, wrong dosage, or wrong method of delivery—the consequences can be life-threatening. Improper medication administration malpractice occurs when these errors result from negligence or a failure to follow the accepted standard of care.
Patients rely on nurses, doctors, and pharmacists to administer drugs safely. When negligence occurs, it is a breach of trust that can cause severe injury or even death.
Medication administration is guided by the “five rights” of safe practice: the right patient, right drug, right dose, right route, and right time. When any of these are violated, malpractice may result.
These errors are not limited to hospitals—they occur in nursing homes, outpatient clinics, and even during home health care.
