Introduction One of the most important goals of healthcare teams is to ensure patient safety. Still, individual team members’ characteristics can lead to medication errors. Identifying, reporting, and managing these errors promptly is essential to prevent adverse patient outcomes. In the present case, the nurse administered ibuprofen and aspirin to a patient on warfarin. Drug interactions resulting from this combination could cause the patient to bleed more easily, and thus the error compromised patient safety. It is essential to act promptly to protect the patient and prevent similar occurrences in the future. Main body Firstly, it is essential to note that standards of professional behavior for nurses necessitate reporting medication errors, regardless of whether or not they threaten the patient. In the present case, the patient is unlikely to suffer significant health consequences as long as they are not injured or bleeding. Reporting an error would help to avoid making the situation worse by administering more blood thinners (clexan). Therefore, the first thing that I would do in this situation is to talk to the patient’s physician to inform them about the mistake and clarify what modifications should be made to the treatment, if any. I would also notify the nurse manager or leader present on the shift so that the patient could receive the necessary attention and consideration during any manipulations. In addition, I would practice disclosure and transparency by informing the patient about the error and the need to make short-term modifications to her pre-up treatment. I would take care to explain to the patient that, at present, her life is not in danger, and it is likely that the error will not have any negative consequence on her health. In this way, I would be able to engage the critical team members involved in the care process, including the patient, and establish excellent communication on the problem. Throughout my encounters with other team members, I would avoid blaming the other nurse for the error because this could lead to conflicts within the health care team and impair future teamwork. For example, if the patient believes that the other nurse lacks qualifications or experience, she might not trust her in the future, which could affect the therapeutic relationship between the two. Similarly, if the nurse manager or the physician blame the nurse for the error, it could affect trust within the team and create obstacles to teamwork in the future. Hence, it is crucial to highlight that mistakes can occur due to a variety of factors and that they do not always depend on the nurse’s level of knowledge or professionalism. Once patient safety is ensured, and communication is established, I would also make plans to approach the other nurse during her next shift, both to inform her about the error and to prevent future mistakes. In talking to the nurse, I would use effective feedback provision techniques, such as sharing resources that could be used to clarify information when doubt, asking about why she thinks the error occurred, and suggest practical strategies to ensure patient safety in the future. Providing feedback in this way would show my support and willingness to help while also drawing the nurse’s attention to the need for improvement, thus having a po
