What action is required when a medication error occurs?

  1. It should be ignored

  2. It must be documented and reviewed

  3. Only the pharmacist should be informed

  4. The medication should be dispensed regardless

The correct answer is: It must be documented and reviewed

It is important to document and review a medication error because it allows for proper tracking and evaluation of the error. Ignoring the error can lead to repeated mistakes and not informing all necessary parties, such as the physician or patient, can result in potential harm or legal implications. Dispensing the medication regardless of the error could also lead to harm to the patient. Therefore, option A, C, and D are incorrect.
