Her colleague also failed to properly match the drug with the patient's medication administration record (MAR). How It Happened According to the Minnesota Department of Health's official investigative report, two nurses neglected to follow established facility procedures for handling the drug in question. Specifically, the nurse who signed off on the medication put the order on the wrong resident's MAR. The second nurse failed to double-check the order against that wrong patient's chart. Additionally, the entire care team failed to catch the errors for nine days. The Result The resident was taking the drug, an anticoagulant (blood thinner), because they had a history of developing blood clots. During the nine-day window, the resident developed clots in their brain that eventually caused a large and fatal ischemic stroke. Your Solution
