Reduce Adverse Drug Events (ADEs) Involving Intravenous Medications:
Use Oral Syringes for Oral Medications Only
Oral syringes are intended for administration of oral medications only, but unfortunately they often fit easily into intravenous line ports. This can lead to an error where an oral medication is administered accidentally into an intravenous line, which may lead to an adverse drug event. To avoid this risk, use oral syringes for oral administration only.
