Accurate medication administration is essential for patient safety. Key steps in demonstrating this technique include:
Verify the patient’s identity using at least two identifiers. Check the medication order for accuracy. Calculate the correct dosage if necessary. Prepare the medication using aseptic technique. Administer the medication through the appropriate route (oral, IV, IM, etc.). Document the administration accurately in the patient’s medical record. Monitor the patient for any adverse reactions.
Using a combination of verbal explanation and visual demonstration ensures that learners understand each step clearly.
