Background Safe medication management is integral to the provision of safe and quality healthcare and the quality use of medicines (Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care, 2019). The Registered Nurse has an integral role in maintaining patient safety and decreasing the risk of medication-related harm when planning a person-centred approach to nursing assessment and care (Kavanagh, 2017). Based on the scenario provided, you are required to respond to each of the following questions: Outline the role of the Registered Nurse in the promotion of medication safety and the impact of nursing skill and knowledge on mitigating the risk for medication errors. In what ways do evidence-based practice guidelines support the Registered Nurse to maintain safe medication management: when preparing for and during administration of medication? when monitoring for a response after administration? It is expected that your submission will: Demonstrate how the concept of safety applies to safe medication management within the acute care setting and the role of evidence-based nursing practice in promoting positive patient outcomes. Examine the role of a Registered Nurse in the promotion of medication safety and mitigation of risk for medication error. Use peer reviewed and academic literature to support your responses, for example: Current evidence-based practice guidelines, such as the National Medicines Policy released by the Australian Department of Health, Peer reviewed literature published within five (5) years, 2016-2021, Recently published textbooks relative to the Australian Healthcare setting, Seminal works where relevant. Word Limit When discussing the questions above you must adhere to the word limit of the assessment (1200 words), including in-text citations. It is recommended that the response to each of the above tasks (1, 2A and 2B) will not exceed 400 words. Use of Literature You must include in-text citations and a list of references at the end of your submission. You will be assessed on the use of relevant evidence-based practice guidelines and contemporary peer reviewed, academic literature.
