Abstract

Medication errors are preventable and endangering events that still occur when patients receive treatment from healthcare professionals. One form of such error is incomplete prescriptions, which can have a negative impact on the effectiveness of therapy and patient safety. This phenomenon is commonly found in various healthcare facilities in Indonesia. Methods: This study aims to determine the completeness of outpatient prescriptions at the Pharmacy Installation of the Indonesian Christian University General Hospital (RSU UKI), especially from the administrative and pharmaceutical aspects. This study is a non-experimental retrospective descriptive study with a quantitative approach. Samples were taken randomly directly from outpatient prescriptions that entered the UKI Hospital Pharmacy Installation during the period October to December 2022. Results: From the evaluation results of the prescriptions studied, data was obtained that the level of completeness in the administrative aspect included: pro (patient and doctor identity) of 73.80%, inscriptio (health care facility identity) 92.85%, invocatio (symbol R/) 100%, and subscriptio (technical instructions for pharmacists) 79.77%. Meanwhile, in the pharmaceutical aspect, the level of completeness of the signatura (instructions for use for patients) reached 91.67% and prescriptio (medicine name, dosage, dosage form, and quantity) was 88.39%. Conclusion: The results of the study indicate that most outpatient prescriptions at the Pharmacy Installation of RSU UKI have met the standards of administrative and pharmaceutical completeness. However, there are still shortcomings in several components, especially in the pro and subscriptio sections. Efforts are needed to improve accuracy in writing prescriptions by medical personnel to minimize the risk of medication errors and improve patient safety.

Abstract

Introduction: Epistaxis or nosebleed is one of the emergency conditions in the field of otorhinolaryngology that is often encountered, especially anterior epistaxis. Allergic rhinitis can be a predisposing factor for epistaxis due to chronic inflammation of the nasal mucosa that causes fragility of blood vessels in the Kiesselbach plexus area. Objective: To report a case of anterior epistaxis in a patient with a history of allergic rhinitis, and to evaluate the appropriateness of the diagnosis and management based on existing theories and literature. Methods: This writing is a descriptive case report of a patient who came with complaints of nosebleeds. Anamnesis, physical examination, and supporting examinations were performed to confirm the diagnosis and formulate management. Results and Discussion: The patient was diagnosed with anterior epistaxis triggered by the underlying condition of allergic rhinitis. Therapy given was in the form of local treatment (cauterization) and antihistamine medication to control allergic symptoms. The evaluation results showed significant clinical improvement without recurrence. Conclusion: Anterior epistaxis can occur as a complication of chronic allergic rhinitis. The diagnosis established through anamnesis, physical examination, and supporting tests is consistent with the theory outlined in the literature review. Appropriate treatment of underlying causes, such as allergic rhinitis, is crucial to prevent recurrence.
