Seeing Through Google Glass: Using an Innovative Technology to Improve Medication Safety Behaviors in Undergraduate Nursing Students.
Addressing safe medication administration skills and behaviors is integrated throughout many nursing curricula using high-fidelity simulation. Simulation allows students to practice on electronic manikins in a safe environment, allowing for independent, critical thinking as medications are administered. However, the restricted physical environment, often behind a one-way mirror, inhibits faculty from observing the processes students use to calculate or reference medication dosages. This article describes the errors in medication administration identified through use of Google Glass, an innovative technology that allows video recording from the student's perspective.
