Cevap
The correct actions are cross-checking the name and date of birth against the medication record, inquiring about medication hypersensitivity, and ensuring the medication details match the prescription.
Safe medication administration requires strict adherence to the fundamental rights of medication administration. This includes verifying the correct client using two distinct personal identifiers (such as name and date of birth on an identification band), confirming the correct drug, dose, and route against the active prescription, and assessing for any potential allergies prior to giving the drug to prevent adverse reactions.
