- Abstract
Objective: to understand the concepts and lead the nursing team in the face of medication errors in the medical clinic. Method: a qualitative, descriptive study carried out in a teaching hospital. Two nurses and seventeen nursing technicians from the medical clinic were interviewed. Data collection took place through interviews and non-participant observation, analyzed by the content analysis technique. Results: a team recognizes aspects that cause an error: manual and illegible prescription, work overload, lack of attention and professional training, large number of people circulating and interruptions at work. Flaws were identified at all stages of drug administration and strategies for improving the process. Conclusion: as strategies and improvements in the medication process, as permanent education and identification labels for drugs used in daily professional practice with the inclusion of all professionals involved.
