As the results showed drug precautions awareness among nurses were weak (18%), average (77%) and good (5%). Furthermore, a statistically meaningful relation was found between the mean score of nurses' awareness, patients' safety and therapeutic dosages of drugs (P= 0.001).
Conclusively, the results showed the depth of educational needs of nurses in relation with drug precautions, specially, on factors related to maintaining right therapeutic dosages.
