Drug shortages are likely to continue

Abstract

Although we all continue to strive to provide the best quality care for patients, the added difficulties of drug shortages will undoubtedly cause dilemmas that must be addressed. Readers are encouraged to read the transcript of the FDA public workshop panel at http://www.fda.gov/downloads/Drugs/NewsEvents/UCM275801.pdf and communicate with their respective nurse leaders to address these issues. In addition, nurses are encouraged to subscribe to the One and Only One campaign (http://www.oneandonlycampaign.org/).
