Identify the medication name and dosage administered to the client in the report. D. Make a copy of the incident report for personal record keeping. E. Include the time the medication error occurred in the report.

Correct Answer: C,E

Rationale: The correct answers are C and E. In an incident report regarding a medication error, the nurse should identify the medication name and dosage administered to the client (choice
C) to provide crucial information for analysis and prevention of future errors. Including the time the medication error occurred (choice E) is essential for understanding the context and timeline of the event. These details help in investigating the error, determining root causes, and implementing corrective actions. Placing a copy of the report in the client's medical record (choice
A) is not recommended as incident reports are typically kept separate for confidentiality and quality improvement purposes. Obtaining an order from the client's provider to complete the report (choice
B) is unnecessary and delays reporting. Making a copy of the incident report for personal record keeping (choice
D) is not standard practice and may compromise the confidentiality of the information.
