Health, Wellness, and BeautyPatient Safety Management4HighNurse$ implied
Nurses are unaware of and untrained on the risk of vial coring when drawing up medications with blunt needles, potentially leading to patient harm from glass fragments.
Current nursing education and common practice do not address vial coring risks; filter needles are known but not routinely used, and there is no systematic training or protocol.
