Medication safety

In 2023, the CDC reported that the most common types of adverse drug events are associated with allergic reactions, side effects, over-medication, medication errors, and drug–drug interactions. Healthcare advances in new drug development, older medications with newer indications for use, an aging population, and the expansion of prescription drug coverage may lead to an increase in these events. When nurses understand what determines evidence, how to implement guidelines as standard of care, and what establishes best practices to optimize medication safety, they can help prevent medication errors.

Live liver donors who electively undergo major abdominal surgery require specific care and expertise to ensure their safety. In the outpatient transplant clinic, transplant coordinators provide education, obtain consent, and organize the care of potential transplant recipients and living donors. As essential members of the transplant team, these coordinators use their extensive knowledge and experience to guide patients through evaluations. They provide psychological, medical, and logistical support during the stressful transplant process.
