ACTIVITY
Learning Activity
Summary

This activity will take place in a laboratory setting where


nursing students will follow a skills checklist for safe
medication administration. Skills checklist is an important
study tool that will prepare the nursing student to safely
administer medications in a clinical setting. Students will be in
groups of 6 with a total of 18 students in this session. The
students will follow the checklist/guidelines designed by the
clinical instructors. When an area of medication safety and
administration is completed the student will check it off and
the instructor will initial as complete. Audiovisual resources
will also be used to help demonstrate lab skills. Discussion of
safety and quality in pharmacotherapy and drug errors was
covered in a classroom session.

Active learning is addressed as students take an active role in


manual skills.

How is content connected The theoretical content was covered previously in class which
to prior learning?
will help bridge theory to practice.
Reflective Debriefing The students were then moved to another room where
with Learners (post- debriefing occurred. The debriefing discussion for medication
learning activity) How will safety and practice guidelines will focus on questions related to
it be accomplished?
their performance and applied knowledge.
Evaluation of
A formative approach for evaluation will be used in lab.
Learning (How will it be Documentation of those skills that are completed or need more
accomplished?)
practice will be recorded on the skills checklist and a
summative evaluation will be given at the end of lab.
Teacher Reflection

Creative lab skills is a good fit for medication safety and


practice guidelines because the students are given tools for
(justify choice of learning successful medication administration practice such as
activity and good fit for audiovisual, skills checklist, and guidelines. These skills
the identified learning provide the student resources to avoid behaviors that may
