NEW YORK: Half of all heart patients made at least one medication-related mistake after leaving the hospital, and guidance from a pharmacist didn't seem to reduce those errors, in a new study. Consequences of mistakes - such as forgetting to take certain drugs or taking the wrong dose - can range from side effects like constipation to more serious drops in blood pressure. Two percents of errors were life-threatening. Not all of the problems, however, were the fault of the patients. Some may have resulted from medication side effects of other factors beyond the patients' control. Hospitals involved in the study were already taking steps to prevent medication mistakes in addition to the extra pharmacist intervention, said Dr. Sunil Kripalani, the study's lead author from the Vanderbilt University Medical Centre in Nashville, Tennessee. "We were surprised to see that in spite of these efforts, that 50 percent (of patients) were still having these medication errors," he told Reuters health. Although the pharmacist visits didn't help the average patient, he added, certain ones seemed to benefit - such as patients who were on multiple drugs or had trouble understanding health information. As for traditionally lower-risk patients, he said other strategies to prevent errors may be needed. - Reuters What is the effect of medication errors?

Pembahasan

Berdasarkan kalimat “ Consequences of mistakes .... can range from side effects ... to more serious drops in blood pressure. Two percent of errors were life-threatening .” yang terdapat pada paragraf ke-2, dapat diketahui bahwa kesalahan-kesalahan berdampak pada efek samping kesehatan hingga penurunan kesehatan yang mengancam nyawa pasien sehingga pilihan jawaban (E) adalah yang paling tepat. Pilihan jawaban (A) salah karena informasinya mengacu pada penurunan tekanan darah, bukan pendarahan di jantung.
