title: Recognizing and preventing medication administration errors.
abstract: Proper medication administration in the long-term care facility is vitally important, as many medications have specific administration parameters that are essential to their optimal efficacy. Pharmacists servicing long-term care facilities play an integral role in observing medication administration in the facility and educating facility staff on proper administration techniques. By being vigilant to potential problems, pharmacists can help ensure that facility residents receive their medications appropriately.
