Abstract:
This study investigated the effect of virtual simulation of parenteral medication administrations on nursing students' knowledge and skills. This randomized controlled experimental study adopted a pretest-posttest research design. The sample consisted of 103 first-year nursing students from a university. They were divided into an experimental (n=51) and a control (n=52) group. The control group received traditional education, while the experimental group logged into the simulation at "parenteralilacuygulamalari.com.tr" and did the medication administration as many times as they wanted in the virtual environment. There was no statistically significant difference in intramuscular, subcutaneous, and intravenous medication administration scores between the experimental and control groups. However, the experimental group showed a statistically significant difference between the pretest and posttest knowledge and skill scores (P<.05). Nursing students who engage in virtual games acquire more knowledge and develop more skills.

Methods for Studying Drug Absorption: In situ
The Doluisio method involves perfusing a prepared segment of a rat's small intestine with a solution of radiolabeled drug and a non-absorbable marker. This helps to differentiate between absorbed and non-absorbed drug concentrations. The intestinal segment is connected at both ends using tubing and syringes,...
