Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning to administer a controlled substance to a client who is experiencing pain. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Identify the client using two identifiers. This is the first step to ensure the right medication is given to the right patient, following the five rights of medication administration. By using two identifiers, such as the patient's name and date of birth, the nurse can verify the client's identity and prevent medication errors. Documenting the administration (
A) should come after the medication is given. Comparing the medication amount to inventory (
C) is important but not the first step in administration. Removing the medication from the cabinet (D and E) should occur after the client is properly identified.
