Please make a separate card for each medication. You will need to have these cards completed and bring to lab, by next week on your lab day. Please bring cards with you every week. We will be using the med cards for practice in lab, and for medication administration testing. For medication administration skill testing, each student will blindly choose one medication to administer. Therefore, each medication should be researched and administered in practice to ensure success.
