Abstract

Objective: to describe the application of 10 correct procedures in medication administration by nursing interns. Method: Descriptive documentary, 20 scientific articles published in PubMed, Scielo, Scopus were analyzed. Conclusion: The application of the “10 corrects” in the administration of medications by nursing interns is fundamental to guarantee patient safety and minimize errors in clinical practice. However, factors such as lack of adequate training, work overload and constant interruptions hinder their effective implementation. It is essential to reinforce intern training, promote double-checking and create work environments that minimize distractions, which will significantly improve adherence to these principles and, consequently, the quality of care provided.
