Reduce Adverse Drug Events Involving Electrolytes:
Remove All Concentrated Electrolytes from Floor Stock
Concentrated electrolytes pose a fatal threat to patients. When they are available on a patient care unit, it is far too easy for someone to accidentally administer the concentrated material without first diluting it in solution, especially during an emergency. Such an error often leads to an immediate and severe reaction, including death. Remove all concentrated electrolytes from floor stock and never dispense them from the pharmacy.
