This cross-sectional study was conducted with 562 nurses to find out nurses' opinions and practices concerning medical errors and to measure their tendency to make medical mistakes. Data were collected using a questionnaire and Tendency for Medical Errors Scale and evaluated using Student's t and one-way ANOVA tests. The average total score of the participating nurses was 4.4 ± 0.3. It was observed that 36.1% nurses made medical errors, and all of those nurses making mistakes have stated that they have made medication errors. It was found that nurses with higher education and working in the intensive care unit had a lower tendency, whereas those working in children's hospital had a higher tendency to make medical mistakes (P < 0.05). It might be recommended that the working conditions of nurses be improved, and nurses in general and particularly, those working with pediatric patients be given regular training to prevent drug administration errors.

“…In interventional radiology, it is essential to verbally communicate the risks prior to any planned intervention as part of informed consent [23]. Informed consent must contain a written copy of these risks, the stated purpose of the procedure planned, any alternative options, as well as the overall prognosis with potential harms and benefits not undergoing the intervention [25]. Studies have suggested that a proper consent should be patient-centered and allow for shared decision-making [26,27].…”

Medical professional liability (MPL), also commonly referred to as medical malpractice, is a costly issue in health care today, accounting for roughly 2.4% of total health care expenditure in the United States. Almost all physicians currently in clinical practice will either be subject to a lawsuit themselves or work with someone who has. Given a lack of formal structured education about MPL in medicine for trainees, this review aims to define and discuss the relevant concepts in MPL as a reference for early career interventionalists to understand the current medicolegal environment and learn best practices to avoid litigation.

Interventional radiology is continuing to reshape current practice in many specialties of clinical care and the fields of gynecology and obstetrics are no exception. Imaging skills, clinical knowledge as well as vascular and non-vascular interventional technical ability, are essential to practice interventional radiology effectively. Patient safety is of paramount importance in interventional radiology as in all branches of medicine. Potential failures occur throughout successful procedures and are attributed to a spectrum of errors, including equipment unavailability, planning errors, and communication errors. These are mainly preventable by improved preprocedural planning and teamwork. Of all the targeted and effective actions that can be undertaken to reduce adverse events, the use of safety checklists might have a prominent role. The advantage of a safety checklist for interventional radiology is that it guarantees that human error in terms of forgetting key steps in patient preparation, intraprocedural care, and postoperative care are not forgotten.
