The Masspro (2007) Safe Medication Practices Workbook includes worksheets, checklists, and links to resources to help deliver the educational program. North Carolina is the only state that requires 1 hour of mandatory education and training at the time of orientation and annually thereafter for all nursing staff employed in nursing homes. The mandatory education program includes general medication administration, instruction on the indications and side effects of medications commonly used in nursing homes, review of nursing home policies and procedures, and correct procedures for identifying and reporting actual and potential medication errors (Williams et al., 2008).
