Abstract

Every year millions of patients are injured or die from poor quality and unsafe healthcare. The preparation and administration of drugs is a complex process in which nursing professionals have the important function of being the last barrier to avoid possible harm related to drugs in the patient. Consequently, it is possible to propose more effective strategies to promote a culture of safety for the patient. In order for successful execution, clear policies are needed, as well as the leadership capacity of the Nurse that drive improvements in safety. Thus, this work seeks to raise awareness of this responsibility in nursing professionals and not in auxiliary personnel to meet indicators that allow us to ensure safety in patient care in health institutions.
