ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to increase awareness and educate undergraduate nursing students and clinical faculty regarding the importance of missed or omitted Parkinson's disease medications during care transitions. To improve quality and safety among this vulnerable population, an innovative, simulated unfolding case study focusing on incomplete medication reconciliation and omission of time-sensitive medications was conducted. Second-degree BSN students (n = 94) and clinical faculty (n = 7) participated in the study. Pretest/posttest results were compared. Findings indicated increased understanding among students and faculty regarding the impact of medication reconciliation and the timely administration of Parkinson's disease medication.
