What medicines learning is included?
The course includes a core medicines and intravenous therapy unit. Actual practice also depends on competence, supervision and local rules.
What this means for your study decision
HLTENN040, Administer and monitor medicines and intravenous therapy, forms part of the core. This confirms the subject area in the curriculum, but unit inclusion does not remove professional practice boundaries.
Ask about the learning sequence, supervised practice and assessment for this unit. Actual medicines work also depends on competence, RN supervision, local law and employer policy; this article provides no administration instructions.
