Why doesn't the cabinet require you to select the purpose of the drug?
First you select a drug, then the system estimates danger and urgency(Safer drugs often used in cases where seconds count could bypass the extra check), then the cabinet displays all the purposes one might use the drug for, along with random unrelated purposes and a text field.
If you ask for a sedative, you have to say why. And if you click an unrelated purpose, it will make you retry everything, and also show up on a report that you and your supervisor can look at to see if there are any patterns of frequently being caught.
Especially dangerous drugs could even require control room authorization, one operator could potentially supervise dozens of nurses remotely.
I'm not sure if people would get even more complacent, but it seems like errors are already common enough that it might be hard to make it worse.
