Answer to Question 1

smart pumps
A new generation of IV infusion safety systems reduce medication administration errors. Known as smart pumps, they are designed to serve as a final step in preventing errors that relate directly to administration of IV medications. They have built-in software programmed from health care pharmacy databases with unit-specific profiles.
