Medication AdministrationPregunta 12 de 100
When is the correct time to document that a medication was given?
a.Before entering the resident's room
b.At the end of the entire shift from memory
c.Immediately after the resident actually takes the medication
d.Whenever the aide has free time
Explicación
Documentation is completed right after the medication is administered, never before giving it (which would be falsifying the record) and never long after (which risks forgetting). Charting after administration keeps the MAR accurate and prevents duplicate dosing.
