Objective: The purpose of this review was to identify methods for incorporating medication administration safety in undergraduate nursing education.
Design: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines directed this review.
Data Sources: A search of four electronic databases (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Education Resources Information Center, Google Scholar, and MedLine/PubMed MedLine/PubMed) as well as hand searches were conducted to identify original research published between 2005 and 2018.
Review Methods: Original empirical research describing a method for incorporating medication administration safety concepts in nursing education and examining its effectiveness on undergraduate nursing students' outcomes were selected for review. Articles describing medication safety education for graduate students, students other than those in nursing, and practicing nurses were excluded.
Results: Twelve original research articles were included for review. Three methods for incorporating medication administration safety in undergraduate nursing education were identified: simulation experiences, technology aids, and online learning modules. Most studies were conducted in North America. The use of different interventions as well as different outcome measures was noted as a limitation to the collective body of research in this area. Also, there was a lack of information regarding psychometric properties of instruments used among the studies reviewed.
Conclusion: Simulation experiences, use of technology aids, and online learning modules helped increase medication safety competence of nursing students. However, simulation equipment, select technology aids, and online learning may not be available for all nursing programs; therefore, educators should consider developing and testing classroom-based educational interventions. Moreover, future researchers should use or develop psychometrically sound instruments to measure nursing students' outcomes including competencies about medication administration safety.

Cellular and gene therapy (CGT) products have emerged as a popular approach in regenerative medicine, showing promise in treating various pancreatic and liver diseases in numerous clinical trials. Before these therapies can be tested in human clinical trials, it is essential to evaluate their safety and efficacy in relevant animal models. Such preclinical testing is often required to obtain regulatory approval for investigational new drugs.

Background: Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) are small-molecule compounds that exert agonist and antagonist effects on androgen receptors in a tissue-specific fashion. Because of their performance-enhancing implications, SARMs are increasingly abused by athletes. To date, SARMs have no Food and Drug Administration approved use, and recent case reports associate the use of SARMs with deleterious effects such as drug-induced liver injury, myocarditis, and tendon rupture.

Introduction: The emergence of high-efficacy disease-modifying therapies (HE DMT) for multiple sclerosis (MS) may pose challenges to the administration and monitoring burden of the therapies. This article presents the results of the Delphi consensus method to generate insights from experts on the administration and monitoring burden of HE DMT in Saudi Arabia with a special focus on cladribine.
Methods: Between January and March 2023, a two-round modified Delphi method was used to establish consensus regarding the administration and monitoring burden of HE DMTs used for MS.

Purpose: Studies have shown mixed findings regarding the impact of stress on the success of fertility treatments. To the best of our knowledge, stress in the context of the workplace has not been investigated to date in relation to the success of fertility treatments. This research investigates the impact of work-related stress and emotional exhaustion experienced by both partners on in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment outcomes.
