Medication Administration Competency
6 weeks · 0 milestones
Demonstrate supervised competency in safe medication administration. Proof requires a clinical supervisor's signed competency assessment covering the Rights of Medication Administration (right patient, right drug, right dose, right route, right time, right documentation). The supervisor must be a registered nurse or clinical educator. Self-verification and peer verification are NOT accepted for this outcome — qualified supervisor attestation on an official competency form is the only valid proof artifact. The proof documents supervised competency development, not a record of medications independently administered.

Under direct supervision of a registered pharmacist or registered nurse with medicine administration sign-off authority, complete a medicine calculation assessment covering: oral medicine dose calculation (tablets, liquids), intravenous drug calculation (rate, concentration, volume), weight-based dosing (mg/kg), and reconstitution calculations. The assessment must cover at least 20 calculations across all four types. This is a supervised knowledge assessment — it is not documentation of administering medicines to patients.
Proof required
Submit your completed calculation assessment (signed and dated by the supervising registered professional) including all workings, the assessment score, and the supervisor's attestation that the calculations were completed independently under observation.
What gets checked
- Supervisor is a registered nurse with medicine administration authority or a registered pharmacist — not a healthcare assistant or student peer.
- Assessment covers all four calculation types — a single-type calculation set (all tablets only) is not sufficient.
- Workings are shown — a correct answer without workings does not demonstrate calculation competency.
