A medication or drug is “any substance or composition presented as possessing curative or preventive properties of human diseases. Any composition that can be administered to humans to establish a medical diagnosis or to restore, correct or modify physiological functions in humans is also considered a drug” (WHO Drug Dictionary Enhanced, 2005). This video aims to review some of the key principles of safe medication administration such as IPC, Patient-centered care, The 8 rights of medication administration, Labelling, Documentation, Patient monitoring and Incident reporting. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This video is intended for educational purposes only.
