Medication AdministrationPregunta 1 de 100
A medication aide is about to give a scheduled tablet. Which action correctly verifies the 'right patient'?
a.Ask the resident's roommate to confirm the resident's name
b.Check two identifiers such as the name and date of birth on the wristband against the MAR
c.Give the medication to whoever is sitting in the resident's usual chair
d.Match only the room number to the medication cart drawer
Explicación
The right patient is confirmed using at least two identifiers (for example name and date of birth) matched to the MAR, never the room number or bed location alone. Relying on location, chairs, or roommates can lead to giving medication to the wrong person.
