True or False: A hospital may use some discretion when developing its list of sound-alike/look-alike medications used by the facility.
Training Tips: The AHAP Staff Challenge is the perfect way to regularly train your staff. If the challenge is a question, forward the e-mail to your staff. Once they answer the question, they will receive immediate feedback on their answers. If your staff doesn't have e-mail access, use this question in different, creative ways.
You can use the question and answer in:
• Posters
• Intranets
• Tent cards placed on tables in staff lounges and cafeterias
• Handouts or quizzes distributed at team meetings
• Reference binder available in staff areas
• Paycheck stuffers
• Newsletters
