Interruptions increases fatality and impact onpatients especially those who are aged. Random errors of medication administration have beencontinuously evaluated by researchers so that interruptions can be reduced while preparation ofmedication. Medication administration errors (MAE) could significantly reduce impacts by 36%on emergency department patients. These errors in health care are generally committed by nursesunknowingly have often led to several serious consequences on patients[ CITATION Sas14 \l 1033 ].The current scope of analysis evaluates critically methods that can reduce interventions inhealthcare of nurses while administering medication on aged patients. 2.0 Search Question and PlanMedication administration error is a growing issue that have had several implications on costs aswell as on factors as health of patients.

Removingduplicate records present in data collected, necessary journals and articles for analysinginterventions methods related to the study had been undertaken. It becomes essential to evaluatevarious facts and data related to interventions methods that have been used by multiple scholarsin understanding processes that are adopted by nurses is evaluated. Announcing the comparator(control) gather intervention(s, for example, common care, medication, or fake treatment, isfundamental for scholars to completely comprehend the determination criteria of essentialexaminations incorporated into precise audits, and maybe a wellspring of heterogeneityspecialists need to manage. Comparators are frequently ineffectively portrayed.Results and Discussion:Westbrook, Hooper, Raban, Middleton and Lehnbom (2017) conducted asystematic review of several literatures and conducted study on medication related errors frominterventions[ CITATION Wes17 \l 1033 ]. Wrongly administered medications have been severelyaffecting old aged patients in general departments as well as emergency departments. Thescholars had evaluated several data that it collected from across all departmental nurses with twospate groups. One group of nurses was made to wear vests whereas data from another groupacted as the control group. The aim of the scholars and researcher was to primarily demonstratescopes for improvements to reduce interruptions in medication related errors. The study hasconducted in-depth analysis of several intervention techniques that causes disruptions in4 | P a g e
