Abstract
Medication administration requires rigorous clinical reasoning leading to sound clinical judgment for positive patient outcomes. The National Council of State Boards of Nursing is implementing a clinical judgment model for the licensure examination. To support the practice of clinical judgment in administering medication, improve patient safety, and better prepare nursing students for their licensure examination, a clinical reasoning initiative was developed to reflect the judgment needed for safe medication administration. An acronym, WARRIORS, captures the decision process exemplifying the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to keep patients safe. A free training tool (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkBeGymEMuQ) and an online electronic health record (http://www.nursing.pitt.edu/aliceblazeckrn/) guiding deliberate practice provide interrelated cues to support nursing students in forming a hypothesis through taking action and evaluation. This learning initiative supports nursing students' safe and accurate medication administration and can continue to be used as they move into practice. [J Nurs Educ. 2020;59(4):231-234.].
