    A charge nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about medication administration. Which of the following information should the charge nurse include?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Read medication labels at least two times prior to administration: Labels should be read three times (when retrieving, preparing, and administering). B. Avoid preparing medications for more than two clients at one time: Reduces the risk of medication errors by minimizing task-switching and confusion. C. Inform clients about the action of each medication prior to administration: While educating clients is essential, it is not always required before every medication. D. Complete an incident report if a client vomits after taking a medication: An incident report is typically required only for errors or adverse events.
