Lesson L3-1 · authored fragments (docs/43)
Primary review content — the AI-avatar narration, in order.
Now you give the dose. Sometimes you hand it to the client. Sometimes you watch and help the client take it themselves. Either way, do it the same safe way. Get the pill into the cup without touching it. Pop it straight into the cup, or tip it into the bottle's lid first and then into the cup. Your fingers never touch the pill. That keeps it clean and keeps you from dropping or mixing up a dose. Hand the cup with a drink the client likes. Give only as many pills as the client can swallow at one time. Watch them take it. For pills, watch them swallow. Then check that the cup is empty. Do not set the cup down and walk away. The dose is your responsibility until the client has taken it. A dose left on a table can go to the wrong person, or you never see if it was taken at all. When you are done, put all the medications back in locked storage and keep your keys with you. And one more thing for every step: when you are not sure — about a dose, who the client is, or whether something belongs in the cup — STOP. Ask your supervisor. Never guess.

## Rule-3.6 author-ahead waiver (recorded 2026-07-05)
The concept is `in_review`, not `approved`. Per docs/42 §I.1 / docs/43 §4, this bundle is authored
**ahead of concept approval under a Rule-3.6 waiver** as part of the Oral Route reference
implementation. Consequence: **every fragment in this bundle is `sme_status: "draft"`, preview-flag
only, and production-publish-blocked** until (a) the concept reaches `approved` and (b) a Gate-2 SME
sign-off is recorded in `content_revisions.sme_signoff_*`.
## Source ledger (projects into `payload_json.sources`)
- `curriculum_source`: "APD BMA Module 2 (oral administration technique — s58, s62, s64) + APD BMA Module 2 s57 (ASK your supervisor)"
- `form_reference`: "APD Form 65G-7.008 A (MAR)" (documentation of the given dose lives in MA.L3-1.F)

## Decision queue → owner / SME (Michele + Nicole)
1. **`TODO(source-1)` — SRC-7 direct-observation anchor.** The bundle narrates "watch them swallow /
confirm the cup is empty" (docs/42 §E do-list). Confirm APD requires *direct observation of
consumption* for both pills and liquids, and pin the slide. Until then C3 stays `verified_by: null`
and the sim's observed-intake gate is preview-only. **This is the primary anchor gating the bundle
to production.**
2. **`TODO(source-2)` — SRC-8 responsibility framing.** Confirm the exact phrasing "you are
responsible until the client has taken the medication" against APD source (currently a defensible
reading of Mod2 s64).
3. **`TODO(source-3)` — SRC-13 administer vs. supervise scope (C6, `[Needs Owner Review]`).** Confirm
APD BMA distinguishes MAP-administered dose from MAP-supervised self-administration and how the
client's level sets which applies. **Per docs/43 §15 this may NOT be locked into narration or a KC
answer key** — narration only *describes* both actions ("give the dose, or watch and help the
client take it themselves"); it asserts no scope rule. No KC answer key tests C6.
4. **`TODO(source-4)` — L31-R01 STOP-ask chip (C7, `[Waiver360-added]` portion).** APD Mod2 s57
("ASK your supervisor!") supports the ask pattern; the "STOP … never guess" wording and its
placement at the end of the administer step are Waiver360 scaffolding, shared with MA.L3-2.C /
MA.L3-3.B. Confirm the chip and its placement.
5. **Gel-cap / oral-form technique note.** This concept is oral-generic (bottle→lid→cup) and defers
form-specific handling (crush/open/sublingual/chewable) to C-3.2; confirm the L3-1↔L3-2 split.
## Patient-safety chain
Owner directive: treat MA.L3-1.E as a patient-safety concept. The chain below is concrete and
specific to THIS concept (prepare-and-give technique), not generic.
1. **Medication error prevented.** A contaminated dose (fingers on the pill), an unobserved or
incomplete intake (you never saw your resident actually swallow it), or a wrong-client pickup of a
dose you poured and left sitting out — the wrong person swallows it, or your resident never takes it
and you signed as if they did.
2. **Why staff make this mistake (the real-world reason).** It is not forgetfulness. On a busy morning
med pass you have four residents waiting, a phone ringing, and a cup already poured. Setting the cup
on the table and moving on *feels* efficient — "he always takes it, I'll come back." And you touch
the pill with your fingers to double-check it is the right one, because that is how you handle every
other object in the house. Time pressure and multitasking, not carelessness, are what put a dose out
of your control.
3. **How the lesson/transcript prevents it.** Block `l31-administer` coaches the exact safe moves:
bottle→lid→cup (or pop it straight in) so your fingers never touch the pill; hand the cup *with a
drink*, give only as many pills as your resident can swallow at once, watch the swallow, and confirm
the cup is empty. It names the rule out loud — "the dose is your responsibility until the client has
taken it; do not set it down and walk away" — and ends with the shared STOP-ask chip.
4. **How the simulator reinforces it.** The `don-montana` observed-intake pass force-fails the pass the
moment the learner touches the pill to prepare it, sets the poured cup down and steps away, or drops
the documentation initials before Don's swallow is observed. The learner cannot "click past" an
unattended dose; they must keep control, observe intake, and confirm the empty cup first.
5. **How the KC verifies mastery.** `KC-L3-1-E-Q1` tests the no-fingers pour with distractors that model
the two real slips — clean-hand contact and pour-and-walk-away. `KC-L3-1-E-Q2` tests hand-with-a-
drink / watch-the-swallow / confirm-empty-cup, with distractors for hand-off-and-multitask,
set-it-down-and-step-away, and all-pills-at-once (choking). Passing both at the High ≥90% bar (with
spaced repetition) is the mastery signal that the control-and-observe habit has taken.
## Bundle manifest + human index
`../MA.L3-1.E.manifest.json` and `../MA.L3-1.E.README.md` are **owned by the later lesson-aggregation
step**, not this concept bundle (per the authoring task scope). This mirror is the bundle's local
authority ledger only.
You are getting Don's morning tablet ready. How should you get the pill from the bottle into the medicine cup?
Why: Bottle to lid to cup — or popping it straight into the cup — keeps the medication clean and under your control. Your fingers never touch the pill, so you do not add germs and you do not risk dropping or swapping a dose.
Error prevented: Contamination of the dose from finger/hand contact, and wrong-client pickup of an unattended, poured dose.
Misconception: "Touching pills to count is fine" and "set the cup down and step away."
You have Don's tablet ready in a cup. What is the safe way to give it and finish this step?
Why: You keep the dose under your control the whole time: hand it with a drink, watch Don swallow, and check the cup is empty. Giving only as many pills as he can swallow at one time keeps him from choking or losing a dose.
Error prevented: Unobserved or incomplete intake, wrong-client pickup of an unattended dose, and choking from too many pills at once.
Misconception: "Administration ends at hand-off" / "set the cup down and step away" / "give everything at once."
Entry: Learner reaches Don Montana's scheduled morning oral-tablet pass in the MAR Simulator, after the client identity + triple-check gates (C-3.1.C / C-3.1.D) have passed.
Mastery: ≥90% with spaced repetition (docs/42 §H); the observed-intake safety gate force-fails an individual pass, but concept mastery is a ≥90% bar, not a 100% concept gate.
Force-fail: FORCE-FAIL THE PASS. This administration pass cannot complete until the dose was kept under control, prepared without finger contact, and observed taken. The sim surfaces the same compassionate-framing modal as the KC, with a direct link to the l31-administer re-anchor clip and a 'Try again' CTA. This is a safety-event force-fail on the pass; the CONCEPT-level mastery bar remains High (≥90% + spaced repetition, docs/42 §H), not a Critical 100% concept gate.
Shot: Bottle→lid→cup no-fingers technique in three tight frames: pop into the cup, or tip into the bottle lid then into the cup; fingers never touch the pill.
Camera: Macro three-beat sequence; hold on 'fingers never touch the pill'.
Avatar: Voiceover.
Visual: Show the concrete APD give-technique the older drafts omitted (MA.L3-1.E visual: bottle→lid→cup no-fingers 3-frame).
Animation: The pill travels bottle→lid→cup along a guided path; a 'no-touch' glyph reinforces the hands-off rule.
Infographic: 3-frame strip: (1) bottle, (2) pill into lid, (3) lid into cup; caption 'fingers never touch the pill'.
Shot: Hand the cup with a preferred drink; watch the swallow; then an empty-cup confirmation still. Contrast insert: a cup left on a side table by an empty seat, stamped WRONG.
Camera: Medium on the hand-off + drink; hold on the swallow; macro on the empty cup; quick cut to the anti-pattern insert, then corrected.
Avatar: Voiceover.
Visual: Show observed intake and the empty-cup confirmation, and the pour-and-leave anti-pattern (MA.L3-1.E animation: dose-left-on-table stamped WRONG → corrected; empty-cup confirmation still). High concept, per-pass safety gate.
Animation: Cup hands over with a drink; swallow confirmed; cup flips to show empty. The 'pour-and-leave' insert is stamped WRONG, then corrected to the observed-intake path.
Infographic: Callouts: 'give with a drink they like', 'only as many as they can swallow at once', 'watch the swallow', 'confirm the cup is empty', 'relock, keep keys'. Anti-pattern card 'set it down and walk away → WRONG'.
Bottle→lid→cup no-fingers technique in three frames; the pill never touches the fingers.
