Question 1 of 5
The nurse can prevent medication errors by following which principles? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: B,C
Rationale: The correct principles to prevent medication errors are to always follow the rights of medication administration (
B) and to use two client identifiers before giving medications (
C). Following the rights of medication administration ensures the right patient, right medication, right dose, right route, and right time. This helps in accurate medication administration. Using two client identifiers before giving medications helps in confirming the right patient, reducing the risk of administering medication to the wrong individual.
Choices A, D, and E are incorrect. Minimizing verbal and telephone orders (
A) is a good practice, but not directly related to preventing medication errors. Using trade names instead of generic names (
D) can lead to errors due to confusion. Assessing for allergies after giving medications (E) is important but does not prevent medication errors before administration.
