Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about medication reconciliation. The nurse should instruct the newly licensed nurse to perform medication reconciliation for which of the following clients?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: A client who is transferred to a step-down unit. Medication reconciliation is important during transitions of care to ensure continuity and prevent medication errors. When a client is transferred to a new unit, there is a risk of discrepancies in medication orders. Performing medication reconciliation in this scenario helps to verify the accuracy of the client's medication list, including any changes made during the transfer process.
Choice A is incorrect because having a referral for social services does not necessarily involve a change in medication that would require reconciliation.
Choice B is incorrect because being transported to radiology is a routine procedure and does not typically involve medication changes.
Choice D is incorrect as a consultation for physical therapy may not directly impact the client's medication regimen.
