Florida Board of Nursing required CE · systems, high-alert medications, reporting, special populations, and patient education
What you will be able to do
- Explain the system and human factors that make medication errors likely and identify the safeguards that intercept them — barcode scanning without override, an interruption-free medication pass, independent double-checks for high-alert medications, special-population dose checks, and root-cause analysis —.
- Describe a specific application of one medication-safety safeguard — refusing a barcode override, an independent double-check, a protected medication pass, a special-population dose check, or teach-back — to your own practice setting.
- Report having made a specific change in your own medication-administration or error-reporting practice (for example, no longer overriding a failed scan, requesting an independent double-check on high-alert infusions, or reporting a near miss).
