Medication List Template: What Is It?

A Medication List Template will instruct an individual or someone taking care of another individual on how to appropriately handle and administer drugs. Although administering and handling drugs may appear simple, it is crucial since it can easily become difficult and result in medication mistakes. Medication mistakes, such as taking the incorrect dosage or timing of a medicine, are very prevalent and can result in major adverse effects, hospitalization and sometimes even death.
