Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Implementing a computerized medication administration system can improve medication safety and decrease medication errors. However, during the implementation process, the nurse manager should be prepared to address any potential issues that may arise, such as system malfunctions, incorrect entry of medication orders, or user errors. Therefore, medication errors would be the most relevant safety issue to prepare for during the implementation. The other options, such as patient falls and power outages, would still need to be addressed but are not directly related to the implementation of the computerized medication administration system. The issue of insufficient nursing staff may also be important, but it is not directly related to the safety concerns of implementing the system.
