Children vs. Medication Errors

Did you know that children are more vulnerable to medication errors when it comes to patient safety? 

Here's why: 

-most medications are made and packaged especially for adults

-most health care buildings and facilities are centered around adults

-young children cannot communicate the adverse effects they are currently experiencing

-children are less able to tolerate medication and safety errors

-dosing errors are most common for young children
