Crushing medicine that should not be crushed
Failure to “Shake Well”
Failure to take the medicine with food when required
Failure to supply adequate fluid with medicine when required
Failure to be cautious of the “Warnings” associated with the medicine
Dose omission or multiple dosing
Overdose or underdose
Wrong product administered
Administered at the wrong time
Using expired product
