Abstract

To decrease medication errors and improve patient safety, students must develop strong pharmacology knowledge, skills, and attitudes. The ways clinical nursing instructors cultivate these abilities were previously unknown and therefore explored. Instructors used a variety of teaching and evaluation strategies, which can be improved with consistency, purposefulness, and evidence-based practice.

Washington, DC, USA

To decrease medication errors and improve patient safety, students must develop strong pharmacology knowledge, skills, and attitudes. The ways clinical nursing instructors cultivate these abilities were previously unknown and therefore explored. Instructors used a variety of teaching and evaluation strategies, which can be improved with consistency, purposefulness, and evidence-based practice.
