How nursing home prescription errors happen

In some cases, nursing home prescription errors are the result of some kind of nursing home neglect, such as when one patient is given another's medicine accidentally. Some prescription errors may rise to the level of nursing home abuse. For example, a nursing staff member might deliberately over-medicate a patient to make him or her more compliant.

Nurses who are over-worked due to inadequate staffing may negligently mix up prescriptions and give a resident the wrong medication. If the patient's medical history and other prescriptions are not checked appropriately, they may suffer from severe side effects or drug allergy symptoms.
