The 5 Rights of Medication
Client Nurse training, with an RN subject matter expertRole Instructional design, UX, and buildYear 2026
An AI-assisted branching simulation that turns a nurse medication-safety checklist into real decisions on a simulated shift.
01The brief
Nurses can recite the five rights (patient, drug, dose, route, time) but often skip them under pressure. A slide-and-quiz shows recall, not habit. The goal was to build the habit by putting learners on a simulated shift with the Medication Administration Record in hand.
02What I did
Built a concept map with a registered nurse that became the source of truth for every scenario. The nurse owned clinical accuracy, and I owned the experience and pedagogy, using AI for rapid prototyping. The design went through three versions, from a checklist to an immersive scene to a final branching decision station with a live MAR. Wrong answers name the clinical consequence, then let the learner retry, and an edit mode lets the nurse revise content without a developer.
03Tools used
Claude Design (AI-assisted prototyping), Canva, MindMeister.
04Result
A full medication pass across three patients with 14 branching decision points, a spot-the-gap warm-up, coach-voiced feedback with optional narration, and a printable certificate at 80% or higher.
