- Doctors may order the wrong drug or the wrong dosage. They may fail to check for interactions with drugs the patient is currently taking or for allergies to specific drugs. They may fail to consider the implications of the patient's medical history or condition, such as pregnancy or diabetes.
- Nurses may improperly administer the drug, administer the wrong drug or the wrong dosage.
