Wrong Medication
Nurse Gives Medication Meant for Another Patient
Administering the wrong medication is a serious form of nursing malpractice that can lead to harmful and sometimes life-threatening consequences for the patient. One common scenario is when a nurse mistakenly gives a patient medication intended for another individual with similar symptoms. This type of error often occurs due to mix-ups in patient identification, poor communication, or failure to follow proper medication administration protocols. The effects can range from mild reactions to severe allergic responses, drug interactions, or even organ failure, depending on the medication involved.
This form of malpractice is entirely preventable with proper safety measures in place, such as verifying patient information and ensuring the "five rights" of medication administration: the right patient, the right drug, the right dose, the right route, and the right time.

Real Case Example
In a real-world case, a 45-year-old man was mistakenly given a heart medication that was meant for another patient with a similar name. The nurse, who failed to properly check the patient’s identification wristband, administered a drug used to control blood pressure. The man, who did not have a heart condition, suffered from a drastic drop in blood pressure, which caused him to lose consciousness and sustain a head injury when he fell. He was rushed to intensive care, where he eventually recovered, but the family pursued a medical malpractice lawsuit for the negligent medication error.
The investigation found that the error could have been avoided if the nurse had followed protocol and verified the patient’s identity before administering the medication. The hospital settled the case, admitting to a breakdown in safety procedures and staff training.
Preventing Wrong Medication Errors
Preventing medication errors involves strict adherence to protocols such as verifying the patient's identity, double-checking prescriptions, and using barcode scanning technology. Effective communication between healthcare providers and continuous education on medication safety are also critical in reducing the risk of these types of errors.
Conclusion
Administering the wrong medication due to patient mix-up is a preventable form of nursing malpractice that can have serious consequences. Proper patient identification, adherence to safety protocols, and a commitment to patient-centered care are essential to preventing such errors. If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to a medication error, it is crucial to seek legal advice to understand your rights and hold the responsible parties accountable.
