Can anyone please help me correct coding for accidental medication error? The patient accidentally took a medication in place of the correct medication. Would this be coded ad poisoning?

Thanks for any help.
 
yes it is a poisoning but only if there is an unfortunate outcome. If the was no harm to the patient, then there is no reason to code the incident.
