Name one of the factors that may prevent someone from reporting their own medication error.

Hello!
First of it matters from point of view. But let’s say it was a staffs’ point of view!

Some of the most common recent staff medication errors at a hospital include purely lack of time, the error printing process or program used is time consuming. Even if you as a user think it takes five minutes, the perception that it is gonna take me 10-15 minutes to fill out a report, will inhibit someone from actually doing that. And I think, most importantly, is a lack of feedback. Often hospitals will go through this process of promoting the reporting of errors. Pharmacists will report these errors and a couple months later they hear nothing back. And after a while as a pharmacist you’re thinking I’m putting all these errors but I’m getting no feedback so what’s the point, our report must be going into a black hole. And so those are just some of the common reasons why people aren’t reporting errors is just the lack of feedback, not knowing the report, and it just takes too much time to fill out a report.

I hope that helped! ❤️

Tobacco would be the answer . good luck!
