The ‘Rights’ of medication administration

Medication errors are much broader than just calculations. Learn about the ‘Rights’ of medication administration using interactive animations and randomized questions. Check patient wrist bands and medication labels, review and sign off on an electronic MAR, drops tablets into a plastic cup for administration, select the appropriate route of administration of a medication and much more. All delivered using realistic, engaging and interactive animations!

Medication (dosage) calculations

An absolutely essential area for any health professional, Prac+Safe offers the finest interaction and simulation available on an online platform. Use 2-D simulated syringes where you can move the actual plunger, program IV pumps and syringe drivers and count drops falling in real time. Hundreds of practice questions across all key topic areas are supplemented by engaging videos teaching the required theory (for example dimensional analysis) in a step by step fashion. Practice as much as you want until you are achieving 100% accuracy. Track your performance via the Score Card to identify your progress and areas of strength and weakness. Prepare for your dosage calculation exams. This is as close to the real thing as you will get!

Medication (dosage) calculations

Critical thinking case studies

Put everything together and develop and assess your critical thinking skills with these scenario based exercises that are based on actual medication errors and areas of high risk. You can review patient MARs, vital signs, observations, progress notes and more before making your own clinical decisions about managing your patient safely. Let Prac+Safe take you through a variety of different clinical scenarios whether they be pediatric, mental health, general surgical or more.

Prac+Safe’s clinical case studies have been described as excellent preparation for NCLEX.
