Abstract
Abstract: Knowing medications and their use in patient care is a component of safe practice. The Med-Match game transforms learning medications from a solitary task to an interactive activity. Educational games create real-life scenarios in a safe, context-rich environment without real-world consequences. Gaming is a form of active learning; learning occurs as a result of student-to-student interaction, peer feedback, and faculty debriefing. Although this activity was initially developed for nursing students, it can also be used with new RNs being oriented to a clinical setting or as an annual review for experienced nurses.
