Assessment of Nurses Knowledge and Practice Regarding Pharmacology of the Drugs They Usually Used in Tertiary Hospital

Abstract

Background: Medication safety is a critical aspect of patient care, with nurses playing a central role in ensuring safe medication administration. Despite global initiatives such as the World Health Organization's Medication Without Harm campaign, medication errors remain prevalent in healthcare systems. These errors, particularly in the medication administration process, are often linked to gaps in nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and practices. This study aims to assess nurses knowledge  and practice regarding  pharmacology  of the drugs they usually  used in tertiary hospital.
