Which of the following is NOT a MERP recommendation?
When a medication error occurs, it must be determined who was responsible for the error
Controlled medications must be stored properly to prevent theft and diversion
Develop written policies and procedures for personnel who administer medications
Provide training to personnel who are responsible for medication management
When a medication error occurs, it must be determined who was responsible for the error
Rationale: MERP does not recommend that when a medication error occurs, it must be determined who was responsible for the error. Assigning blame to individuals is counter-productive, and does not solve potential problems. It is more important to understand the cause of the problem and identify a solution to prevent the incident from reoccurring in the future.
