Multi-Patient Safe Medication Administration

Scenario Description

A learner is assigned three patients during a morning medication pass on a medical-surgical unit. Each patient has unique health conditions requiring the administration of multiple medications. The learner must assess patient status, identify potential safety concerns, and use clinical judgment to determine the appropriateness of each medication. Throughout the scenario, the learner is expected to prioritize care, apply safe medication administration practices using barcode medication scanning and the EHR, and communicate effectively with patients and the healthcare team. This is an entry-level safe medication administration scenario involving more than one patient.
