dc.description	Nurses are duty-bound to protect their clients in all aspects of their care. In the subject of patient safety, Medication Error (ME) remains a major issue nurses are facing today, while interruptions and distractions have been mentioned to be contributors to ME. In 2014, the use of red tabard during medication round was first introduced and singly used as a measure to counter interruptions in selected community hospitals here in the North-West of Ireland. A mandate has emerged for an investigation of the drug round tabard as a single countermeasure to interruptions and distractions to establish its effectiveness among other strategies. An in-depth exploration of nurses' experiences with the drug round tabard was also necessary because of the vital role nurses play in medication management and safety. Moreover, due to ME's startling statistics, here in Ireland and worldwide and because of the growing older population, the value of investigating medication safety measures for this group of clients is fundamental.	en_US
