Try some questions from the course

Question 1 of 3

You are interrupted while preparing a dose. What is the safest step?

 

When interrupted, pause and restart the check rather than carry on from memory.

Lesson 1, Why a dose goes wrong, teaches this. See the outline

Question 2 of 3

When is the best time to document a dose?

 

Document straight away so nobody gives it twice.

Lesson 3, A safe administration routine, teaches this. See the outline

Question 3 of 3

Why does a high-alert medicine need extra care?

 

High alert describes the size of the harm if it goes wrong, not the cost.

Lesson 4, High-alert medicines and grey areas, teaches this. See the outline
