Patient safety is seriously threatened by medication errors. Pharmacological therapy aims to accomplish particular therapeutic objectives that improve patient quality of life while reducing patient risk. To develop a clear plan for minimizing medication errors and establishing safe and effective medication practices, the study's major goal is to identify the key locations at which medication errors usually occur. The five scenarios presented here demonstrate the frequent errors that took place, including communication problems, technical errors, rule-based errors, and knowledge-based errors. Patients' quality of life must be improved by educating both patients and healthcare workers on safe medication practices. This involves monitoring for and recognizing errors, reporting them in a blame-free environment, analyzing their root causes, changing procedures on the lessons learned, and ongoing monitoring.
