Let's hope the verifying pharmacist got a nice raise for catching that one! Talk about a close call.

Sentinel event? Nah, that's way too serious for this situation. It's just a simple mix-up that got fixed.

Drug allergy? No way, this is clearly a medication dispensing error, not an allergic reaction.

Hmm, adverse drug reaction? I don't think so, since the patient didn't even receive the wrong medication.

A near miss? Definitely! Caught the mistake before it reached the patient - that's the way it should be.
