In your work, you have identified an increase in medication errors on five medical-surgical units. Nurses on the medical-surgical units attribute the increase to their own fatigue. Because of a lack of staff, nurses are being assigned at least two patients more each shift and more nurses are working 12-hour shifts or double 8-hour shifts. Your literature review indicates a possible link between hours worked and medication errors.
