title: [Perception of the nursing team about causes of errors in the administration of medication].
abstract: The nursing staff, responsible for the last stages of the administration of medications can detect failures and avoid them. The security in the administration of medicines is essential, therefore it is necessary to identify the types of errors and the risk factors in the occurrence of failure. This study sought to identify the causes of errors in administering medication and preventive measures. This is a quantitative, descriptive and exploratory research. Fifty-two professionals participated in this research. The administration of drugs is one of the most important activities of nursing, so the awareness of all the nursing staff that there will be no punishment in the occurrence of error should be made clear.
