$20.00
This online Medication Administration Basics class will give the Direct Support Professional (DSP) the tools necessary to support a person in taking their medication. The course has 18 lessons that cover a wide range of topics. The DSP will learn about the importance of clear and concise communication with not only the person being supported but the prescribing physician and pharmacy as well. Another important topic covered are what’s known as the “3 checks” and the “6 Rights” in administering medication. Medication errors and what to do when one is made is discussed in this course. Many more topics are covered in this course that will prepare the DSP to do their job correctly. Finally, this online course promotes the idea of a Direct Support Professional assisting someone supported in taking their own medication as opposed to just “giving a member their meds.”

Quick and to the point. I like the emphasis on helping the clients learn how to 'take their privacy. '

Need the ability to save place for quizzes and have different narration.

There were several instances where I didn't get right to the quiz and when I came back it was frustrating to find that I had to rewatch the entire video. Additionally, I wish there was a way to have different voices - this isn't the most constructive criticism as the narrator can't do much about their voice, but it completely threw me off the entire time. The entire time I wished it was over because the voice bothered me.
