Cevap
The correct actions are to ask the client to state their full name and date of birth, document the administration immediately after giving the medication, and review the allergy band while confirming verbally.
Safe medication administration requires strict adherence to safety protocols. Asking the client to state their full name and date of birth utilizes two approved patient identifiers, fulfilling the 'right client' check. Documenting immediately after administration ensures the medical record is accurate and prevents duplicate dosing by other healthcare staff. Checking the allergy band and verbally confirming allergies is a crucial assessment step that prevents adverse allergic reactions.
