Unintentional errors

Mistakes occur in the nursing profession as in any other. Unintentional errors are often made such as mistaking doses and misinterpreting written orders due to poor handwriting. Changes have been made along the way to prevent human errors from affecting patients directly such as instituting computer written order and using identification bracelets to differentiate patients with similar names among others.
