Nursing Home Abuse: Medication Errors
When you choose a nursing home for your loved one, you are entrusting this organization to properly care for his or her safety and wellbeing. One of the main responsibilities of the nursing home staff is to provide your loved one with the proper dosage of his or her medications throughout the day.
Unfortunately, there are a number of personal injury cases in which members of nursing home staffs have given residents the wrong medication or an improper dosage. These mistakes can lead to serious medical complications, including organ failure, blood clotting, and death. Despite the fact that these mistakes are preventable, understaffing and improper training of nursing home staff has made medication errors a growing national concern.
