When A Patients
Mistake Con Spell
Double Trouble

Anybody can make a mistake, bu1
when the error involves a patien
and his medicine the trouble cal
be double: An ailment goes un-
treated, and bodily harm may bt
done. How can medication error be
prevented? A team of four investi
gators made the following sugges-
tiOns to physicians, nurses, phar-
macists and others at a recent
meeting of the American Public
| Health Association:
Medicines should be labeled
with specific directions for dosage
and frequency.
AS an extra check, the patient
| should be asked later what he must
do with drugs prescribed him.
Patients with history of med
ication error, or those started on a
number of drugs at once, should
be reinstructed on use from time
TO time
IPrescribers should require the
patient to bring in all his medi-
cines for screening, in order to dis
card those which are outdated and
hazardous and keep those which
may be taken under other direc-
ton.
The study of Doris Schwartz,
Mamie Wong, Leonard Zeitz and
Mary GOss was conducted over a
one-year period among 178 elder
ly clinic patients, more than half
OF whom were making one or more
medication mistakes. These includ-
ed emitting prescribed medicines,
taking incorrect dosages, following
wrong administration times, using
unprescrlbed cOncoctions, and fail
ing to understand which drug was
for what condition. Most common

congregational participation in the
