Question 1 of 5
A nurse is admitting a new client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take while performing medication reconciliation?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Compare the client's home medications with the provider's prescriptions. This is essential for medication reconciliation to ensure accuracy and prevent medication errors. By comparing the client's home medications with the provider's prescriptions, the nurse can identify discrepancies, address any missing medications or duplications, and ensure the client receives the correct treatment. Verifying the client's name (
A) is important for patient safety but not directly related to medication reconciliation. Calling the pharmacy (
B) may provide some information but does not involve comparing home medications with provider prescriptions. Placing home medication bottles in a secure location (
D) is not part of the medication reconciliation process.
