This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams.
In this episode you will learn:
• The first action after a medication error is always to assess the patient for adverse effects, not to file a report.
• An independent double check for high-alert drugs means two nurses must calculate the dose separately before comparing.
• NCLEX questions test the "Rights of Medication Administration" in scenarios, requiring you to spot the missed step.
• If a barcode scanner fails, the safe action is to stop and manually verify, not to override the system.
• For look-alike, sound-alike drugs, you must use critical thinking to question an order that doesn't match the patient's diagnosis.
