Data were collected, stratified by sex, age, marital status, and analyzed using the χ2 test. Significance was set at p≤0.05.

The five cases considered most frequently responsible for such errors were the rush (70.1%), followed by neglect / superficial (55%); disorganization (51.5%); not hygienically / infertility (50.6%) and inattention (42.9%). With regard to the errors that you should never commit, students have shown more frequently the errors of administration of therapies / medications (69.3%); errors of prescription therapies / medications (58.9%); errors related to surgery (52.8%); the exchange of patient or misidentification of the patient (50.6%); errors that favor the occurrence of hospital infections (48.1%).
