Abstract(s)

Half of the preventable adverse events is a consequence of medication errors (ME), causing more deaths annually than work accidents (OE, 2005).Touted as “gate keepers”, nurses are in a privileged position to detect flaws in the system and guarantee the safety of the patients. However, studies undertaken in this area in Portugal don’t have discussed the pre-hospital, where increasingly the nurse is present.
