• Medication Errors and Drug Interactions: Wrong medications or doses in emergency rooms break safety protocols.

• Failure to Order Appropriate Tests: Doctors must order needed scans and tests based on symptoms. Skipping these can cause complications.

• Inadequate Patient Monitoring: Not checking vital signs or status can let conditions get worse.
