Good day Ma'am Czarlyn. Medication error is one of the leading problems in our practice, it's unacceptable in whatever form of reasoning it may be, especially nowadays, patient safety is always at the forefront of our priorities in providing care to our patients. Learners will always have those butterflies in their stomach when we start asking them about drug studies in the clinical area, which can be a make-or-break for them during the duty. But you can always notice is these types of errors come when our learners start putting their guard down and start to overthink the tasks that they are going to perform. I always remind my learners to take things one at a time to avoid overthinking things that will eventually lead to errors in performing their tasks. I usually go with each student every time they give medications, especially IV meds, but I just reason out that it's part of the process and my responsibilities as his mentor to be always there, not because we don't trust them, but it is what it is.
