National patient safety goals question:

according to the national patient safety goals, which type of therapy poses a risk to patients due to its complex

dosing?

Anti-coagulation medication

Explanation:

This could be more commonly known as blood thinners.

Coagulation is the process by which a liquid changes to a solid or semi-solid state. So in blood, this can be useful in the example if the skin is cut, then a scab is formed (for protection) via coagulation of the blood. However, it is very dangerous if this occurs in blood vessels that have not experienced a cut, so many people who are at risk of heart attacks have to take anti-coagulation medication to keep their blood from blocking any arteries or veins.

This treatment can be dangerous though because if a person who is on blood thinners is cut, the blood will not form a scab, and if left unchecked, the person can bleed to death.
