The negative outcome may be wrong medication may be rendered to the patient, else the medication administration may have some procedural problems. This may result in fatal consequences for the new born patient. Confirming with another nurse regarding this high-risk medication was missed in the medication administration process. He must have requested the respiratory therapist to wait for some time and completed his procedure regarding medical administration of the high-risk drug to the patient as per hospital policy. After completion of this task, he could have continued discussion with the respiratory therapist. The hospital must have a distraction-free policy stating that no one who is in process of providing any service or medical administration to a patient must be interrupted. Also, discussion must be done at the nurse station and not near patient area. This would have brought about a cultural change and the discussions would be facilitated at the nurse station alone.
