Medication Administration Record (MAR)

Inexperience, especially due to a lack of training. Having overworked members in your team might affect their judgment when providing the medicine, so it's important to swap shifts appropriately. The egregious causes include failing to check the patient's medical history and failing to check for negative drug interactions.

Allergic reactions, skin disfigurement, rashes, organ damage, and death are some of the possible problems that could happen if you provide the wrong medication or overdose the patient. These are the extreme problems, though. If you don't give the patient sufficient dosage of whichever medicne they're supposed to take, they might not recover as quickly as intended/projected.

These records can reduce the risk of medication errors. It can also promote accountability and traceability, meaning anyone viewing the record will know who the people involved in providing the medication to the patient. It can also help convey information to other departments, just in case the patient needs to be transferred to a different group or healthcare facility.
