Partly because of fear of reprisal, very few incidents--probably only the 5% or so that are considered potentially life-threatening--are noted in

patients' charts.3-6 Therefore, from a review of clinical records, it is not possible to assess the true frequency of medication error, nor to identify the circumstances that contribute to such error. Nurses, who typically administer medications to patients in clinical settings, are the usual focus of investigations of medication error. In fact, a key feature of nurses' training is that any failure to administer the "right drug in the right dose at the right time to the right patient by the right route" is the nurse's responsibility, even if it results from compliance with an inappropriate order written by a physician, a pharmacist's dispensing error, or a patient's inability to swallow. The expectation is that the nurse will clarify ambiguous orders; have the requisite knowledge and strength of character to question orders that are inappropriate; double- and triple-check the medication, dosage and identity of the patient; administer the medication at the right time and through the correct route; and closely monitor the patient. Increasingly, however, the literature reflects a shift in focus away from the individual nurse as the "cause" of medication error to a consideration of the broader context. There is growing awareness that a complex interplay of circumst
