Prevent Med Errors in Pediatric Patients
September 2023
Only 44% of pharmacists in hospitals that treat both adults and kids are trained on typical pediatric dosing...per a recent ISMP survey.
Consider these strategies to help boost pediatric med safety.
Be familiar with general age definitions...they can affect dosing. A neonate is under 1 month...an infant is 1 month to 1 year...a child is 1 to 11 years...and an adolescent is 12 to 18 years.
