Abstract
To enhance the preparedness of undergraduate nursing and midwifery students to participate in the safe
provision of medication administration on their clinical placements, an innovative blended learning strategy
was designed and developed by the authors. The blended learning strategy included a suite of online reusable
learning objects specific to medication management theoretical knowledge and psychomotor skills to prepare students for a 90-minute practical face to face simulation laboratory session. Students identified that
the reusable learning objects had prepared them for the simulation laboratory session and was rated as a
productive learning experience. The blended learning strategy implemented to teaching and learning medication management to undergraduate nursing and midwifery students can positively influence students’
acquisition of knowledge and psychomotor skills to safely administer medications prior to their practice
placements in a clinical setting.
