When a drug is prescribed to a client, the nurse is responsible for the
administration of the drug, monitoring for therapeutic effects, reporting
adverse drug reactions, and teaching the client information needed to
administer the drug safely at home. A pharmacist checks for drug-drug
interactions prior to dispensing a drug for administration.

date
D) Asking a client if he or she is the correct client
E) Using a current picture of the client if available - Answer✔️✔️-Ans: A, C,
E
Client identifiers can include visual and verbal methods. Visual methods
include use of a recent picture of the client or client wristband. Verbal
methods include asking the client for his or her name and another unique
identifier, such as his or her birth date. Never ask a client, are you Mr.
Jones? because some clients may respond by answering yes even though
that is not their name due to confusion or difficulty hearing. Checking the
client's chart would be inappropriate to use for identifying the client.
When completing the check to ensure that the right drug is being
administered to the client, which of the following should the nurse
compare? Select all that apply.
A) Medication
B) Container label
C) Medication record
D) MAR
E) Nursing notes - Answer✔️✔️-Ans: A, B, C, D
Feedback:
The nurse compares the medication, container label, and medication
record and then the MAR as the item is removed from the cart and before
the actual administration of the drug.
