Pre-analytical errors constitute the most significant proportion of laboratory errors, directly affecting diagnostic accuracy, patient safety, and healthcare costs. Nursing staff play a critical role in the pre-analytical phase, including patient preparation, specimen collection, labelling, and transportation. This review explores the magnitude of preanalytical errors with special reference to India and Uttar Pradesh, identifies contributing factors, and highlights the role of nursing interventions in minimizing such errors in both government and private hospital settings.
