- The cost of drug errors has been estimated at US$ 42 billion yearly globally, making them a primary cause of damage and preventable harm in healthcare systems.
- In high-income countries and low- and middle-income countries, respectively, 7 and 10 out of every 100 hospitalized patients contract a healthcare-associated infection.
- Up to 25% of patients experience difficulties as a result of unsafe surgical care methods. Every year, over 7 million surgical patients experience serious problems, and 1 million of them pass away during or right after an operation.
- A burden of harm estimated at 9.2 million years of life lost to disability and death worldwide (known as Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs)) is attributed to unsafe injection practices in healthcare settings, which can spread diseases like HIV and hepatitis B and C and directly endanger patients and healthcare professionals.
- In outpatient care settings, 5% of individuals experience diagnostic mistakes, of which more than half have the potential to be seriously harmful. In most cases, a diagnostic error will occur within a person's lifespan.

Answer: Monitoring for any change in color and edema at the injury site
Health education on self care of the colostomy
Fluid resuscitation (may also be considered medical care)
Patient diet should be monitored as patient should be on a liquid diet.
Explanation:
1) we are monitoring for any change in color at the site of injury, because of infection. If there is infection there is likely to be change in color of injury site.
Edema is a swelling, If there is a swelling at the injury site post operation, then it means something is wrong.
We then act because we don’t want sepsis to set in.
Fluid resuscitation because it is likely that patient becomes dehydrated post operation.
Also Patient’s diet is monitored because of the surgery we don’t want patient to be taking solid food so as to prevent an irritation of the gastrointestinal tract.
Vitamins are essential compounds that must be acquired through the diet
because the body can't synthesize them. One of the reasons vitamins are
needed is because they play an indirect role in catalysis, in which
enzymes speed up chemical reactions. :D
Answer:
Adenosine.
Explanation:
Adenosine is a neurotransmitter that is created in the brain and when it binds to the adenosine receptors, it slows down nerve activity and it creates a sensation of drowsiness.
<u>Caffeine</u> looks like adenosine to the receptors, therefore, when we have caffeine, <u>it binds to these receptors and there is no room left for the adenosine to bind</u>. However, the caffeine doesn't slow down nerve activity but, in the contrary, it speeds it up.
Therefore we can tell that caffeine blocks the receptors for the adenosine thus promoting wakefulness.
