Assignment 3: Issues of medication errors
The capstone change proposal has been focused on the issues of
medication errors in pediatrics among nurses, the relationship
between the excellence of health services to capital availability,
nurse staffing and welfare, and diabetic foot ulcers as a
complication of diabetes and its management. The availability of
capital has been identified to relate with nurse staffing, having an
impact on the patient-nurse ratio recommended to be about 4:1.
With the appropriate patient-nurse ratio, the quality of service
delivery and patients’ outcomes are expected to improve. Apart
from errors related to nurses’ intervention, the proposal also seeks
to establish other possible causes of medication errors. Project
change proposal change under literature review assignment, as
well, seek to establish a better understanding of diabetic foot
ulcers, risk factors of occurrence, prevention, management, and
treatment of the condition.
Clinical problem statement
Pediatrics medication errors, the influence of capital challenges
on services delivery, and diabetic foot ulcers covered in this
capstone project proposal change are huge health problems that
require proper attention. It has been established that 5% to 27% of
all pediatrics medications ordered, resulting in errors. Several
errors have shown a possible association with low nurse staffing
that has led to burnout, lowered morale, and poor service delivery
