Overview

Qualitative study reveals proactive verification and bedside adaptation strategies among pediatric intensive care nurses, highlighting mechanisms to prevent medication errors.

Key Points

To explore everyday practices and strategies used by nurses to maintain high-risk medication safety in a paediatric intensive care unit.
