Toddler receiving prescribed medication with parent nearby
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer a prescribed medication to a toddler whose parent is nearby. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to identify the toddler?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Check the toddler's ID band against the medical record. This is the most reliable method to accurately identify the toddler before administering medication. Matching the ID band with the medical record ensures that the right medication is given to the right patient, reducing the risk of medication errors. Option A is not sufficient as room numbers can change and may not always accurately identify the patient. Option B involves a second nurse, which may introduce confusion and is not as direct as checking the ID band. Option C, asking the parent, may not be reliable as parents can make mistakes or may not be present. Checking the ID band against the medical record is the best practice to ensure patient safety.
