- 2017 December 12, Helena Mirsch, “Får kritik för att ha delat fel medicin i dosett [Receives criticism for dispensing the wrong medication in a dosette box]”, in Vårdfokus:
- Patienten hade olika läkemedel i varierande doser – men det blev fel med två olika läkemedel som sträckte sig över alla veckans dagar i dosetten. Felet anmäldes till Inspektionen för vård och omsorg som nu kritiserar den distriktssköterska som gjorde misstaget. Hon har själv berättat att det berodde på att hon blev avbruten under arbetet med att dela medicinerna i dosetten.
- The patient had various medications in different doses, but there was an error with two different medications that spanned all the days of the week in the dosette box. The mistake was reported to the Health and Social Care Inspectorate, which now criticises the district nurse who made the error. She herself has explained that it happened because she was interrupted while organising the medications in the dosette box.
