If you need to review the basics of Medication Administration, this is the blog for you!
Learning to give medications is a memorization heavy skill; there’s no way around it. At ChartFlow.io we have a great free EHR practice course for Medication Aides to practice analyzing orders and entering information in the MAR.
But what if you can’t remember the whole process? How many “rights” of medication administration are there? Do you need to wear gloves when giving oral meds? How should you check the identity of a patient?
Don’t worry, we know just where to find answers to these questions. Some of our favorite video lessons related to Medication Administration are listed below so you can review everything about administrating meds:
Osmosis normally charges for access to their videos, but this one is free through YouTube. Healthcare workers ranging from Medication Aides all the way through Nurses regularly give and assist with oral medications. Because of that, this is one of the most commonly used skills and you will frequently be required to demonstrate how to do this in the beginning of your education. We love Osmosis’ short videos to help review this info.
We love this channel! Nurse Sarah, BSN, RN, is an incredible teacher and knows how to keep videos to the point. We especially like her Rights of Medication Administration video because it discusses the most important ‘rights’ as well as how these can vary by region/school once you get past the first 5 or 6.
This video is slightly more technical and discusses some of the more specific aspects of verifying medications against their order, what should be included in prescription information, and more. Basically, this is a great study guide before an exam, because these are things that will be tested on.
If you’re a student looking for more information check out ChartFlow’s blogs on what should be included in a Medication Order and what to look for on a prescription bottle.
