Face validity of the instrument was established via a comprehensive review of the literature in the area of medication administration errors specifically focused on nursing in the acute care setting. The following databases were used for all searches: CINAHL, Academic Search Premier, Alternate HealthWatch, Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition, Medline, and Sportdiscus. Face validity was also established by reviewing previously published survey instruments on medication errors and reporting. To establish content validity, the survey was sent to an expert panel (n = 4) of reviewers that had strong expertise in survey research and medication error knowledge based on their research and publication record. Minor changes were made to the survey based on the comments of the experts.
