Objective:
To develop an educational WebQuest to prevent incidents related to medication administration.
Method:
Methodological study of construction and evaluation, developed in two stages: Construction of technology with identification of domains and generation of items for the Assessment Instrument. The technology assessment involved three phases: Content Assessment by Experts; Review and Reformulation; Pilot test. 15 experts participated in the content evaluation, and 35 nursing professionals participated in the pilot test. In data analysis, the Content Validity Ratio was applied, considered valid when the index reached > 0.600 in the first round and > 0.778 in the second.
Results:
The WebQuest presented adequate indexes regarding technical aspects (> 0.87) and pedagogical aspects (1.0) in the first round of evaluation, while the Instrument was considered adequate (> 0.78) after the second round. The proportion of correct answers was significantly higher after browsing the WebQuest (p-value <0.001), increasing from 31.63% in the pre-test to 87.76% in the post-test.
Conclusion:
The WebQuest and the Knowledge Verification Instrument had their contents considered adequate by experts. The WebQuest proved to be an effective educational tool to expand the nursing team's knowledge on preventing incidents in medication administration.

Drug Administration and Therapy Phases: Overview
The pharmaceutical phase focuses on leveraging the physicochemical properties of the drug to design and manufacture an effective product. Variants include orally administered tablets or capsules, topical creams or ointments, and parenteral-delivery solutions or emulsions.

Pharmacovigilance
This process, termed pharmacovigilance, aims to detect, evaluate, and minimize harmful effects related to medication use. The data collection for pharmacovigilance depends on spontaneous reporting systems, where healthcare professionals or patients voluntarily report suspected ADRs.

Routes of Drug Administration: Overview
Enteral administration refers to drugs absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract. They can be swallowed (perorally), placed under the tongue (sublingually), or on the inner lining of the cheeks (buccally). Perorally administered drugs take time to be absorbed and have a slower onset of action. The rectal route is another form of enteral administration, which allows for...
