On The Joint Commission Official Do Not Use List the abbreviation MS is not to be used for what reason?

The abbreviation "MS" is not to be used because it can be easily misinterpreted as "magnesium sulfate" or "morphine sulfate," which could lead to medication errors. To enhance patient safety and reduce confusion, The Joint Commission advises against using this abbreviation in medical documentation. Instead, it is recommended to write out "morphine sulfate" or "magnesium sulfate" to ensure clarity.
