Answer:

An additional negative effect to the logic ones could be the introduction of incorrect instruction towards the quantity and frequency of consumption of the medicine.

Step-by-step explanation:

Not following or mastering the rules of the written English language while transcribing medical records can create a series of confusion on the patient leading to very serious consequences as they might be taking control medicine or have an accidental overdose of the substance in the worst scenario, it could also affect the patient by not getting cured since they would take less of the originally indicated quantity.
