High-alert drugs are medications that have a greater risk of causing significant harm to the patient if used in error. IV epinephrine, heparin, digoxin, and IV morphine are all high-alert drugs and require special attention by the nurse to ensure safe administration. Oral propranolol is not typically considered a high-alert drug.
