Abstract: Chemotherapy is now a mainstay of cancer therapy used in the treatment of most of solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. One of the primary responsibilities of the nurse in the delivery of chemotherapy is to ensure that the accurate dose of the appropriate drug is given to the appropriate individual. Despite the fact that safeguards are in place, serious medication errors do occur. Such tragic events are regrettable but not so remarkable when one considers the number of chemotherapy doses given and the number of patients treated. The complex high-risk process of administering chemotherapeutic agents creates a challenge for stakeholders to develop a framework of best practices to reduce errors and increase knowledge for individuals involved in both direct and indirect care. [1]This article outlines the comprehensive review ofmedication error, factors and contributing factors of medication error, strategies to prevent medication error and the ways you can increase both staff and patient safety..
