District nurses’ preventive home visits to 75-year-olds: An opportunity to identify factors related to unsafe medication management

Abstract

Preventive home visits seem to provide a unique opportunity to promote safe medication management. Several factors related to unsafe medication management were identified, and several different nursing care interventions were carried out to ensure safe medication management. Use of the SMA tool in preventive home visits seems to be advantageous in improving the safety of medication management among older persons.
