  Abstract
  Study was designed to value the medication administrating mistakes frequency and prevention strategy in a pediatric ward. The study was prospective observational based. Assessment of all the treatment chart of admitted patients by Pharmacist throughout the study duration and analyzed the administration mistakes in medicine as per WHO guidelines. Data was collected from pediatric ward of (BMCH) Bolan Medical Complex Hospital, Quetta from the period of October - November 2015 in a data collection form. Descriptive statistical data was analyzed, interpreted and the related samples Cochran’s-Q test was applied and analyzed by SPSS 22. The 287 patient’s treatment chart were assessed and the total drug administration were 8179, out of which drug administration to male patients were 5156 (63%) and female patients 3023 (37%). The total administration errors in medication were recorded 6718 (82.13%), which include 6607 (98.34% of total errors) were omission errors, followed by 43 (0.64%) wrong time error, 41 (0.61%) un-authorized drug error wrong frequency error 13 (0.19%), wrong dose error 11 (0.16%), incorrect dosage form error 02 (0.02%) and wrong error route 01 (0.01%). There was a high percentage of administration mistakes in pediatric ward in which omission error was most frequent administration error made by nurses throughout the practice of medicines administration. Nurses mentioned a multiplicity of issues as causative to errors but the utmost common issues associated to the fact that medications were administered in a busy, noisy surroundings to problematic, troubled patients, workload, occasionally by fewer than best staffing levels, individual issues; such as feeling exhausted, unsupported, distressed and deficiency of awareness in nurses about medication administration process. These features have been acknowledged as relevant to error relationship in practice of nursing.

  Abstract
  Litsea glutinosa (Lour) C.B. Robinson is a member of family Lauraceae and it is small tree commonly known as Maida lakdi. It is a medicinal plant of immense pharmaceutical value. The species is critically endangered due to its indiscriminate collection as raw material for pharmaceutical industry, where it is used for manufacturing drugs for pain, arousing sexual power and in treatment of diarrhea and dysentery etc. It was distributed throughout Madhya Pradesh but due to over exploitation it becomes endangered now. An attempt has been made for development of in vitro propagation procedure for the species. It is found through in India such as Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Chhitgarh, Orissa, Western ghat and outer Himalayas. In Madhya Pradesh this species has been reported in Hosangabad, Chhindawara, Anuppur, Mandla Balaghat Satna and Rewa districts in mixed forest areas, along with streams and hilly slopes.
