Question: 1 / 400

What are the first steps to take after discovering a medication error like dispensing cyclophosphamide instead of cyclosporine?

Ignore it if the patient seems fine

Notify the manager and document the error

After discovering a medication error, it is important to notify the manager and document the error. This allows for proper documentation and communication of the mistake to prevent it from happening again. Ignoring the error (option A) can lead to serious consequences for the patient. Only informing the prescriber (option C) may not be enough to address the error and rectifying the error without informing anyone (option D) can lead to a lack of accountability and can further compromise patient safety.
