Accurate dosage of medicine, otherwise u will underdose, in which case the medicine does no good, or u may overdose and do further harm or actually kill the patient. Have u not heard of cc`s, drams, ounces, milligrams, etc, these r all measurements used in nursing.

Well, if you don't MEASURE medication doses properly, you may kill your patient.

No, no, not that you just "MAY" kill your patient ..sooner or later you "WILL" kill a patient.
