Cevap
The correct practices are verifying the client's identity with two distinct identifiers, confirming allergy status, and comparing the medication labels to the medication administration record (MAR).
The correct practices adhere directly to the standard rights of medication administration. Checking two unique identifiers ensures the correct client receives the drug, reviewing allergies prevents adverse reactions, and comparing physical labels against the MAR ensures the correct medication and dose are given.
