      ab: Abstract 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.
