At 09:15, you realize you administered 10 units of regular insulin instead of the ordered 5 units to Mrs. Chen, a 58-year-old female with type 2 diabetes. She is alert and oriented, currently eating breakfast. Her last blood glucose was 145. You need to call the provider to report the medication error.
Identify yourself, the patient, and state clearly that you are reporting a medication error.
Include the patient's relevant history, the medication involved, and what was ordered vs. what was given.
Share the patient's current status, vital signs if available, and any signs or symptoms they are showing.
Ask for specific orders for monitoring, interventions, and any additional steps needed.
