The problems nurses face during administration of emergency drugs include:
- correctly hearing verbal orders when under stress
- need to verify (repeat back) verbal orders to increase accuracy
- correct identification of patient
- quickness in med preparation
- accuracy in med preparation, dosage, and administration
- accuracy in math calculations
- high stress
- many activities going on at once
- documenting verbal order and drug administration - quickly, accurately, and 'as you go' (not later)
Many ERs and hospitals use Teams, especially during codes, with each professional assigned specific duties
